This allows you to seamlessly switch between normal usage of the desktop app and fully immersive mixed reality usage. Furthermore, on most modern PCs, the frame rate should be more stable than the native Quest app, providing a more comfortable experience.

Prerequisites

• Install Meta Horizon Link on your Windows computer.

• Navigate to the Developer tab of the Meta Horizon Link settings and enable Developer runtime features, followed by Pass-through over Meta Horizon Link.
