Pass Through function with VR

Magnus Jeppsson · Feb 21st 2020

Hi,

With the Oculus Rift S there is a pass through function which lets the user see the real environment through cameras on the headset, like an AR function but without any other input than what the cameras see. Would it be possible to make use of those cameras to be able to "hold" the model in your hands, or place it on a table, scale the model, twist and turn it, etc?

Would be a very useful feature if possible.

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your feature proposal - I'm pretty sure that this is technically not possible I'm afraid since the Oculus Quest / Oculus Rift S was never made for AR purposes, which is what this would be, an AR scenario. Still, I'll file your inquiry as a feature request since it may be possible in the future.
