Alignment drifting in VR when moving around

Hi there, I am loving Arkio and have built a model of my living room in 1:1 scale using my Quest headset and passthrough mode. Everything works well and is aligned until I start to walk around inside the environment and then the alignment starts to drift. Is there any reliable way to ensure that the 3D mode stays 1:1 aligned on top of the real world as you move around the inside the space?

  Hi Danny,

  Drifting is a common issue for headsets when changing your position over time. The current easiest solution is to manually set and re-align your space to a fixed anchor from time to time. We demonstrate this in our passthrough tutorial

  Meta is currently working on a better way to reference fixed anchors for the Quest in passthrough mode so you can expect some updates from us in the coming months that will make this process easier and more automatic.

  Thanks for using Arkio and we look forward to hearing more of your feedback!
