Meta quest 3S night vision
Yes, you read that right! The meta quest 3S is capable of night vision. It has infrared cameras and infrared illuminators, making it perfect for night vision. Only thing is I can't find out how to see through the infrared cameras. You can test this yourself by using the space setup feature in pitch black darkness, and it will still work perfectly, allowing you to traverse the room slowly as the scan occurs, even while you can't see your hand in front of your face! I have looked for games and apps that utilise your space to show a different vision mode like Espire 2's espire vision in mixed reality, but this still needs light and is more like a filter, instead of giving you a visual representation of your scanned rooms So long story short is, is there a way to either see through your infrared cameras, which would make this full blown night vision goggles, or to use the scan of your room to give you a visual representation of your space, for example a wireframe of your space while you are in it in complete darkness, effectively allowing you to "see" in the dark, since the goggles certainly can and will track your movements in the environment, allowing you to traverse it in darkness. I hope I explained that sufficiently. So yeah, let me know if you know any apps/developer options that either let you use the infrared cameras to see or to give you a "stylised" 3d representation of your space in mixed reality
Add extra thermal cameras to Quest 3
Hello everyone! I would like to know if it is possible to add extra cameras to the Quest 3 headset. The idea is to add two small thermal cameras to the front of the headset, to obtain a passthrough with night vision. It would be an extra layer of information that helps RGB cameras see in complete darkness. Initially I think of gluing the thermal cameras to the front of the viewfinder, and connecting them by cable to a cell phone, where it obtains electrical power and image processing. Then that image should go from the cell phone to the Quest 3 wirelessly. I was analyzing the documentation, and I think this could be done through the Passthrough.API, Android Camera2.API, your opinion on this would be very useful. I am a person with a visual condition called retinitis pigmentosa, which causes night blindness and decreased peripheral visual field. Therefore, it would be miraculous for me (and for many others), to be able to have night vision, but also assistance for low vision, such as contouring people, objects, steps, obstacles and all kinds of dangers. Thank you very much for your time. And thank you very much to META for giving us this wonderful technology that improves our lives in many ways. And also for opening the passthrough code!!

3D model of the room
I started developing for Quest3 but I'm stuck and not making much progress... So far, I've got pass-through working and added collision detection to the scanned room model. Next, I want to bring the scanned 3D model into a Unity scene so I can edit it, but I'm stuck because I don't know how to do it... Any ideas on how to make this work, or even a little advice, would really help.
Bring back Switch View to curve all windows!!!
Why did Switch View option disappeared and instead we have useless Theatre Mode that allow only one window to be curved at the same time. Flat screens are horrible in vr, who came up with this change? Or add ALL windows to be allowed in Theatre Mode and each be curved/flat and positioned wherever we want. Currently it's horrible.
Vr passthrough captions for hearing impaired to let you read what people around you are saying
Enhancing Accessibility with Meta Quest 3's Passthrough Captions Imagine a world where Virtual Reality (VR) isn't just a medium for gaming and entertainment but a powerful tool for accessibility. The Meta Quest 3, with its advanced passthrough capabilities, has the potential to transform this vision into reality by incorporating real-time captions for the hearing impaired. How It Works: The Meta Quest 3's passthrough technology allows users to see the real world around them while still being immersed in the virtual environment. By integrating real-time speech-to-text technology, the headset could display captions for conversations happening in the user's vicinity. This feature would enable hearing-impaired users to understand and participate in conversations effortlessly while using the VR headset. Impact on Accessibility: According to the World Health Organization, around 10% of the global population, which translates to approximately 900 million people, have some degree of hearing impairment. For these individuals, daily interactions and communications can be challenging. By offering real-time captions, the Meta Quest 3 can make VR more inclusive, ensuring that hearing-impaired users can enjoy and benefit from VR experiences just as much as others. Boosting Sales and Market Reach: Meta, as a $1.27 trillion company, stands to gain significantly from such an inclusive feature. Even a modest increase in sales can have a substantial financial impact. For instance: If the global population is approximately 9 billion, about 900 million people are hearing impaired. Capturing just 1% of this market with the new feature could result in 9 million additional users. Given the average price of a VR headset, this could translate into billions in additional revenue. By integrating real-time captioning, the Meta Quest 3 not only enhances the user experience for a significant portion of the population but also opens doors to a vast, untapped market. This accessibility feature would position Meta as a leader in inclusive technology, likely resulting in increased sales, a broader customer base, and a stronger market presence. In summary, incorporating real-time captions in the Meta Quest 3's passthrough view is not just a step towards greater accessibility—it is a strategic move that can drive significant business growth and reinforce Meta's commitment to innovation and inclusivity.
Physical transition between rooms in XR Quest 3 - How to?
Hello, I'm making a mixed reality app, and I have scanned two rooms in my house. I have used the Passthrough, MR Utility Kit and Effect Mesh building blocks, but I can't move between rooms without the screen getting covered up in grey, even though I can see the other room being rendered in the effect mesh. How can I disable this "out-of-bounds" effect in order to transition physically between both rooms? The first image is from the room I started the app, the second is from the second room looking towards the first.
FPS not getting more then 30
How can we increase fps of oculus quest. We are using xr interaction toolkit. In empty scene with just camera i am getting 55fps max. But in any project i am getting just 30fps. I have also done normal urp setting you can go though in photos attached. I also applied occlusion culling.
