      Here you can find a repo that implements the Android Camera2 API in Unreal and with which you can access the headset cameras of the Meta Quest 3 headset (passthrough): https://github.com/yesidfonseca/AndroidCamera2-UnrealEngine/tree/Passthrough_Quest3

        I’m checking for that API everyday but I guess for the stability issues all the functionality comes to Unity first(It has sample project up and running). Unreal’s sample project has not been released, even new swipe gesture inputs are not there yet. Look for the MetaXR version update, usually new sample project comes with new version  of MetaXR plugin. Also check for sample projects. We are still waiting unfortunately…

            Unreal Engine's new camera passthrough feature works with XR (VR/AR) setups using devices like Meta Quest. To use it, enable the Augmented Reality and OpenXR plugins, then use the passthrough layer component in your scene. You'll also need to set up your project for the correct XR device and API.
