External Cameras with Quest 3

Is it possible to remove the built-in cameras of a Quest 3 system and extend the cables?
Or can you connect external cameras to the Quest 3?
Background: I work in a mechanical engineering company and it would be interesting to use the Quest 3 so that you can see certain details of the machine in the Quest 3

    Judging by iFixit's teardown video (wish they'd do a more formal guide for it), you're going to have trouble doing that without reverse engineering the daughterboard the cameras appear to be mounted on. https://www.ifixit.com/News/84572/meta-quest-3-teardown-and-the-future-of-vr-repairability-en

    I doubt removing the built-in tracking cameras would be practical; however, using additional external camera(s) for better passthrough/spatial data is something I'm also interested in.

      did you find any update on how we can connect external cameras like depth sensers or Li-dars?
