Just a question. How often are you all resetting the tracking or realigning it? So, for example, if I takeoff the headset, put it back on, wipe my eyes, or leave it off for a while,adjust it back-and-forth, loosen or tighten it, do you find that your old resetting the alignment of the eyes or is this something the Vision Pro should be doing? I know this from time to time that I’m looking at some thing and it selects something right next to it, etc. I’m just curious how much we should be doing this versus how much the software should be handling it? I hope that made sense!
Got a tip for us?

I haven’t touched the tracking since I set up the AVP six days ago. Seems to still be working great.
I've done it a few times. Got the readers. Wasn't sure the 1.5-1.75's were enough (I used 1.75 myself) so got the 2.0-2.75 to try. Strangely, the difference didn't seem that much. And reading text didn't really seem to improve. I'd do the realignment a few times to see if anything changed. Including when upgrading the OS - decided to go the beta route so I've done it a few more times than most I suppose. So - yes, I've done it a few times 😁
I have the same exact issue as you and I have to reset the eye tracking frequently (every 1-2 days). I feel like the issue is due to the contact lenses I wear. I just bought the prescription lenses for the Vision Pro and they arrive on Monday. I'm hoping this resolves my issue...
I was just going to create a thread on this topic. I, too, have to recalibrate the eye tracking every couple of days.
Usually, it gets off track vertically where I have to look just above an item, like the links to the threads here in the forum, to highlight and select the item.
A couple of times I’ve had it get off track horizontally where I have to look left of the item to select it. When it is off horizontally, it becomes very difficult to select the close button ‘X’ for an app.
Sometimes I put the headset on and all is okay, but every couple of days or so the tracking gets off for whatever reason and I have to recalibrate. It’s kind of a pain, but you really need precise control for most apps.

I haven't touched that since I set it up. I have no issues with the eye tracking and I wear contacts.
Re-centering only brings the windows to the center of your field of view. It does nothing to correct eye tracking issues. The only way to address the eye tracking “drift” is to go through the calibration process, where you look at and select the dots in the headset in three different lighting conditions, again. Then it is spot on until it isn’t again.
In thinking about it, it seems to get off after having removed the headset and then putting it back on, so it could be related to the position of the headset on your face. It usually seems to go on the same position when placed back on your head, but I’m sure that there are slight positional variations.
