For a few days the view on my Quest 3 has been suddenly turning to the opposite direction every now and then. This occurs in all games. Is this a software bug or a hardware error? What can I do to fix it? There have not been any problems like this before on my Quest 3.
Like does it freeze in place, locking the now-turned image in place until you restart your headset, or does it just move you inside your boundary? If the first one is the case, then that's a hardware crash. Nothing you can really do about it
No, it doesn't freeze in place at any point and doesn't need a restart. When I look forward everything is ok. But when I look back 180 degrees, the view turns and shows the view forward. And when I look forward again, the view turns and shows the view backwards.
Restart doesn't help. The problem continues also after restart.
Hello Eilien2.2023, thank you for sharing this with us. We understand that you are having issues with the Meta Quest 3 where the view turns 180 degrees on the device.
The issue of your Quest 3's view randomly rotating 180 degrees is likely a software bug, possibly related to tracking or guardian calibration, rather than a hardware problem. You can try resetting your guardian, restarting the headset, or adjusting the environment lighting and cleanliness to see if it resolves the issue.
- To adjust your boundary modes or redraw your boundary:
- Adjust the environment: Ensure your play space is well-lit, free of reflective surfaces, and that nothing is obstructing the view of the cameras.
- Restart the headset:
