Quest 3 seemingly "random" recentering with palm up gesture
Just doing a sanity check here to see if other developers are experiencing any issues with the oculus doing weird things recently in regard to using hand interactions and the Meta reorientation butto...
No solution was ever found. It's a "feature" not a bug. 😁
I believe this issue has something to do with an update to their orientation API last year. It is likely related to Meta's right hand gesture button which I believe was either repurposed or updated at some point last year. It definitely didn't do this sometime before v64. I was too busy developing the project to note when exactly it happened. This Meta gesture button allows the user to recenter themselves. However, for some reason a palm up hand gesture will also trigger this feature the first time a user does this after start up. But it can also happen randomly afterwards.
I am now reworking a similar project in Unreal 5.5.4 with Meta XR v76.0, using hands only interactions. It still seems to be doing the recenter thing on start - In the VR Viewer - haven't tested a build or if it happens randomly yet.
