Hi @sekhuat thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I'm also able to reproduce this issue on an iPhone 8 running iOS 14.4.

Primarily the current maintainers have focussed on AR rather than VR, so we do not have much experience in this area, but we are keen to understand and fix the issue (and welcome help from anyone else).
