It is curious that even after the launch, those devices keep many references to their previous internal names. Oculus Go was codenamed “Pacific”, instead. Monterey is the codename of the Quest, and in fact, you can find its name everywhere when pinging the parameters and infos of the device through “adb shell getprop”.
This is good for cybersecurity and privacy, but bad for me: no MR on Quest this time 🙁 Codename Monterey They are probably a tracking device, a guardian system as a whole. So, for the Quest OS, those cameras are not really cameras, in the Android sense of the term.
I asked the OS what are the features of the device, and there is no. I’ve verified it by attaching the Quest to my PC and writing “adb shell pm list features” in the command line. There’s no intent associated with taking a picture, there’s no media service launched, and there’s not even “camera” listed as a hardware capability of the device.
I had the idea of accessing the cameras via standard Android interface (so, without going through the Oculus SDK, but using Android tools), but it seems that Oculus has been very paranoid regarding cameras, and in fact, t hey aren’t accessible in any way. I remember Eduardo Siman telling that if someone could unlock that feature, that could be me (I’m very flattered by his esteem), so I tried not disappoint him and find a way to get access to the cameras. Unluckily, this is not possible on the Quest, because the SDK doesn’t give you access to the cameras.
