Microsoft announced Volumetric Windows apps are coming to Meta Quest at Build today.
If i'm understanding it correctly, it looks like Developers that currently have mixed reality Windows apps or 3D objects can extend interaction to the Meta Quest from their Windows machine or Windows 365 via a new volumetric API.
The screenshots show several virtual application windows open, with a 3D Xbox controller model being handled by the user and dismantled virtually.
This is the sign up for the developer preview:
