Hello there, @AetherYuuki. Ensuring that the sensors are working on your Rift S is a crucial part of the VR experience, and we want to ensure that you are getting the most out of your device. We're more than happy to try and assist you further with getting this sensor issue resolved. With that being said, we wanted to share some steps with you that pertain to the sensors on your Rift S.

 

  • Reseat USB cable from the PC.
  • Reseat cable from the headset
  • Reboot the PC.
  • Lighting
    • Is the play location well lit? (Turn on more light.)
    • Is the play location too bright? (Adjust the intensity or amount of light.)
    • Texture is also a factor with tracking. If there is not enough contrast between objects in the room, this could lead to tracking issues.
  • Check your Windows camera settings.
    1. Open your Windows settings.
    2. Click Privacy.
    3. Click Camera.
    4. Change the Allow apps to access your camera setting to On.
    5. Once you've updated your settings, unplug the headset cables from your computer and plug them back in.

Please follow these steps and let us know if they prove to be successful. If you're still encountering issues with the sensors, please let us know, and we can continue to work with you to find a solution for you. Thanks for your time, and we hope to hear back from you soon!
