Quest 3 body tracking not working

WetTowel14

I have hand and body tracking on, and I'm on the latest version (PTC), but my arms aren't accurate. I'm on a Quest 3, so it should have inside out body tracking. I verified the arm tracking isn't working: my arms don't match on my avatar in home, and i tried virtual desktop body tracking compatibility but it wasn't right either.

Hey there!

 

This feature is a virtual desktop beta feature, the discord page they have has many steps on how to set up body tracking. However, this feature may not be compatible or fully operational in standalone.

May we ask that you attempt to clean your tracking lenses (specifically downward facing) with a dry cloth and perform a hard reboot of your device.

 

You can perform this with the following steps:

  1. Hold down the power button and volume down button for 30 seconds until you hear the boot-up sound
  2. If the boot-up sound is not heard:
    1. Hold the power and volume (-) button down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
    2. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight "Boot Device" and press the power button.
    3. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Yes and press the power button.

I tried this and then checked my avatar in my home environment, but my avatar still did not match. 

Please be aware that this will not be a 100% accurate rendering of your real world stance, it may seem slightly off in VR.

I mean they are not at all different then the normal ones, it looks like its still using inverse kinematics, for some reason.

This may be less accurate when not using controllers.

Are you just using standard hand tracking whilst trying to do this?

Yes.

Would you be able to provide a video of this so we can better understand how the tracking is inaccurate?

Okay, let me just get the video here.
