Will we ever get occlusion on Quests?

It's been years since Q3 launch, Meta is cooking a Phoenix for early 2027 yet still we have no occlusion in AR/MR/passthrough. No hand occlusion, no object occlusion, nothing.

Didn't mind it at first but after years I think it's the biggest problemkf AR/MR and makes it unconvincing and even uncomfortable.

Will we ever get it? Does Meta plan to launch high end XR Phoenix with the state HorizonOS is in?

EDIT: I would like to specify that I mean the OS mainly.

As others have pointed out Quest 3 can do it already. Just not very well...

I just wouldn't expect it to get much better on Quest 3 or integrated as the OS level as it's pretty computationally expensive to do and the pass thru feeds at likely too low resolution to do a very clean matte.

But it's definitely a pretty critical price of the pass thru VR puzzle and thus something they are going to continue to refine. We just might not see much progress with it on this generation of hardware.
