If not, I honestly do not find much interest to develop apps for quest 3. In fact I would even fail to see why quest 3 could be useful as a mixed reality device.
exactly - i got excited by the MR capabilities enough to start trying to learn development cause id like some MR tools that don't exist. Only to find out that Meta doesn't appear to want folks to actually develop for the headset, at least based on the state of the docs.
