Quest 2 - Switching off individual screens / Unreal

I'm creating an app for the Quest 2, using Unreal (and not having much success getting help on the Unreal forums).

I need to be able to switch off individual screens on Quest 2, so that I am displaying graphics to either the right or left eye.

Any idea how I might be able to do this?

I'm looking into nDisplay settings, but there's no guidance for this type of function.

Hi!

You probably want to deep dive into Spectator Screen stuff:

Thanks for the reply. My understanding of Spectator mode is that it creates a virtual camera in the 3D space, but this would still display on both screens/lens within the Quest2. Could you elaborate a little more if you think that it might provide the correct solution for what I need please? Thanks

I've never really used it that much. But if you try different texture sizes, cant you draw a black screen (to simulate the turning off the lens) in front of one eye only, or half the screen size?
