catarinafidalgo Hello Catarina!
Unfortunately, there are no news on this topic and there is no easy/standard/direct way of getting passthrough raw RGB data.
Meta didn't make a public statement about this yet.
Meta already did it's public statement. Due to privacy, it's not gonna be. Just think about horror in anti AR people says each other soemthing like "Meta's new feature allows developers to spy on our own eyes, shame the devil!', you see? Just because of that, that's not gonna happen in official way. As mine own opinion. It's too risky to do that.

bektasesref You are right. Nevertheless, a headset using passthrough is not different from your smartphone pointing at your face or backwards each time you use it. IMHO a pop up asking for user permission is more than enough.

I think you're getting something clearly confused. "spying on the eyes", you can already do that, at least with a quest pro. Eye tracking is open to be used. video-Passthrough is using the cameras to the front and even that, as mentioned so many times before is fairly common with phones. Even Meta itself has glasses that ONLY do film the environment, and that only has a small white light.
And they will open this up to the public at some point, probably only through some APIs, but it takes them again ages to do that.
