Samsung’s Moohan headset is taking a cue from Android for camera permissions

VR headsets currently use cameras to show the real world, but they keep raw camera access locked down to their own system software. Third-party developers can use passthrough, but only as a background feature, meaning they can’t directly tap into the camera feed. That means no fancy custom AR tricks or computer vision models, which somehow limits what developers can do. But it seems the next Android XR update might change that. It could bring camera permissions like your Android phone has, letting apps actually tap into the camera feed.
