A very detailed tutorial that will guide you in getting started with developing applications in Unity 6 employing the new passthrough camera access functionalities of the Meta SDK. You will learn both how to start development using the provided samples and creating a new project from scratch.

Have fun in creating applications for the Meta Quest 3 that are aware of the surroundings of the user!
