Pass-through is a feature on Meta Quest headsets that allows you to step outside your immersive view to see a real-time view of your surroundings.
With colour Pass-through, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S and Meta Quest Pro provide you with a more perceptually comfortable, high-fidelity, real-time representation of the physical world around you. Activities supported by colour Pass-through include:
To turn on Pass-through:
For best results, we recommend using full-colour Pass-through in a room with a light level of at least 50 lux. This is roughly equivalent to a soft evening light used in a family room. One way to ensure that you have enough light for full-colour Pass-through to work optimally is to do the book test: if you can comfortably read a book in the room where you're going to use your headset, then you likely have enough light.
To be able to quickly enter Pass-through on Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2, you can turn on Double-tap for Pass-through. This feature lets you turn Pass-through on or off by tapping either the left- or right-hand side of your headset twice. You can turn this on from your Pass-through settings.
The action button on Meta Quest 3S is located on the bottom right side of the headset. Press the action button to switch between seeing your room in Pass-through and seeing immersive virtual surroundings. You can change your virtual environment from Settings.
