We investigated the possibility to enable passthrough in the VTK-OpenXR code and while using the XR\_FB\_passthrough extension works as expected, the very low framerate we get with the Meta Quest 2 connected with AirLink makes the approach unusable. We will do further testing with higher bandwidth or using a Link cable, stay tuned.
