Current Situation
Currently, media management on Meta Quest is fragmented across multiple apps:
1. The Files app stores general media.
2. The Camera app handles media captured with the headset and has its own gallery system.

 Proposed Improvement
I suggest creating a unified, comprehensive Photo Library application for Meta Quest that consolidates all media management features and adds new functionality.

 Key Features

1. **Unified Photo Library App**: A centralized application for organizing, viewing, and managing all photos and videos, regardless of their source.

2. **Integration of Existing Features**:
- Incorporate functionality from the current Files app and Camera app galleries.
- Maintain the ability to view and manage media captured with the headset.

3. Home Pinning: The ability to pin individual photos or entire albums to the Meta Quest home environment.

4. Slideshow Feature**: An option to display pinned albums as slideshows in the home environment.

5. Expanded Import Options:
- Import photos from external cloud services.
- Transfer media via the headset's USB port.
- Import photos through the Horizon app on mobile devices.

6. Cross-Platform Sync: Seamless synchronization with the Horizon app to access photos across devices.

Benefits

- Streamlined media management with a single, dedicated app
- Improved organization and accessibility of photo content from various sources
- Enhanced user experience for viewing, sharing, and importing photos in VR
- Greater flexibility in personalizing the Meta Quest home environment

 Use Cases

- Easily access and view all photos in one place, regardless of origin
- Create ambient or themed backgrounds using personal photo collections from multiple sources
- Seamlessly transfer and view photos from external devices or cloud services
- Share photo albums with friends and family in a more immersive way

This comprehensive Photo Library would significantly enhance the Meta Quest platform by providing users with a centralized, feature-rich solution for managing their personal media in virtual reality.
