Restore Toggle Option for Double Tap Passthrough Settings

Backlogged

8 similar submissions

Created 10 months ago

Multiple users reported that the 'Double Tap for Passthrough' feature, previously toggleable in settings, is now forced on with no option to disable in v81. This change has caused issues with mixed reality games and applications, as accidental triggering of the feature occurs when touching the headset or head strap, or when bringing hands near the head. The loss of tracking and subsequent re-tracking of spatial awareness during PC VR via Steam Link or Air Link is particularly problematic, resulting in a jarring experience. Users request the reinstatement of the toggle option to allow for control over this feature.

A periodic freeze or hitch occurs every 60 seconds on Meta Horizon OS when hand tracking is enabled. This sub-second freeze halts both audio and video updates and is reproducible in Meta Home with no apps running by actively moving both hands. The issue is more pronounced in hand-tracking applications than in the Home environment and can be detected in OVRMetrics FPS graph and adb logs.

Intermittent Black Screen Flickering on Quest 2

Investigating

1 submission

Created 4 months ago

When viewing 3D video content in the browser on Quest 2, intermittent black screen flickering occurs on the left display, with some effect also on the right display. The issue was previously triggered by pressing the menu button during video playback, but now persists even after attempting the previous workaround of double-pressing the power button. This renders browser-based 3D video playback unusable on Quest 2.

Hand Tracking Menu Access Issue with Palm-Up-Pinch Gesture

Investigating

4 similar submissions

Created 4 months ago

The palm-up-pinch gesture used to invoke the Quest system menu during hand tracking sessions is causing frequent accidental app exits. Users, especially inexperienced VR users, are unintentionally triggering the gesture or interacting with the Meta icon prompt, leading to application exits. The issue arises from the ease of triggering the gesture during normal hand movements. A feature request has been made to restore the wrist button as an alternative method for accessing the system menu, which would require more deliberate user intent and reduce unintended app exits in hand-tracking applications.
