VR view shakes while looking around

[smoothmover]

I am experiencing an issue while using VR in Isaac Sim on Windows. Specifically, the VR view shakes whenever I look around. There is no issue when looking in one direction.

I am using the Isaac sim VR plugin and stream VR with oculus quest 3.

Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks.

@smoothmover Could you share a few more details to help narrow this down?

• Isaac Sim version
• OS version
• GPU model and driver version
• Connection type (wired Link vs. wireless Air Link)

Also, you might find this NVIDIA tutorial useful — it walks through connecting Isaac Sim to a Quest headset via OpenXR and covers the plugin setup step by step: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2025/03/build-real-time-multimodal-xr-apps-with-nvidia-ai-blueprint-for-video-search-and-summarization/

I found that the problem only shows in a specific scene.

It happens when I use the simple_room environment from the Isaac Sim Asset.

Specifically, when looking out of the room window in the scene, the VR view starts shaking.

It seems that the assets for the surrounding environment cannot be properly rendered in VR.

The problem disappeared after I switched to a different environment.

@smoothmover We are looking into this. And if possible, can you check if you see this issue on a Linux machine?

We had verified that the issue is not reproducible on Linux. So this appears to be specific to simple_room on Windows. We have opened an internal bug to track this issue.

Thanks for the update! How do you use VR in Isaac sim on Linux? Is it through cloudxr or other setup? Thanks.

Yes, it is through cloudxr. Hope this will help https://isaac-sim.github.io/IsaacLab/main/source/how-to/cloudxr_teleoperation.html
