[Feature Request] Camera and Depth raw data access through USB ADB connection

I know there have been plenty of other posts requesting access to the camera feeds from the Quest devices, and I understand the privacy and potential PR issues that might arise from giving apps access to the raw feeds from the cameras.

I know Passthrough Over Link exists, but it's not the original data.

What I don't understand, however, is why the raw data isn't accessible through a wired ADB connection...

Wouldn't it be possible to enable access to the raw data of each camera and the depth sensor through a wired ADB connection, without exposing it to apps running on the device? Akin to what is done for screen capture as described in https://creator.oculus.com/create-build/capturing-video-from-a-quest-headset/

I'm interested in using the data for my university research, but the lack of access to it is rather disappointing.

  • Most likely due to privacy. Although there hasn't been an official statement on it. Painful not being able to utilize such a charm.
