Is there a SDK available for object detection/recognition?

    For object detection/recognition to work, you'll have to access the camera feed directly. But for privacy reasons, you can't.
    Any SDK that tries to access the camera images will not have permission.
    So to answer your question, I believe you CAN'T use object detection/recognition.

    I see! Thank you for the explanation! Can't wait to meta will release the object detection SDK.

    From the Meta support team: Depending on what platform you're targeting the answer is different.

    If you're targeting VR then the answer is no. The Quest does not allow developers to access camera feeds for privacy reasons.

    On the other hand, some AR SDKs for Mobile allow for Object Detection/Plane Detection/Image Tracking and more. (Unity AR Foundation, Lightship ARDK, Vuforia ...)

    You can check a video that might help you find the SDK you're looking for here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAMeHbKBgC0

    Thank you for the reply Shawni! I am targeting for the Quest 3 MR. I know that the I can do object detection with the mobile AR. I now understand that the quest does not allow developers to access camera feeds for privacy reasons so I can not do object detection with Quest 3 at the moment. Thank you for the quick response!
