Hey there! I tried your starter project of curved image target. I launched the project and tested it on my mobile device. It seems good when I keep my phone and the real-world image target very steady. But the image target gets lost even for a little movement. I want to know if we can get more stable curved image tacking or if this is the best we can get for now.

Hello @Md_Akif_Zaman

(1) Make the image target tarcker better

We recommend using an image target with the following characteristics:

1. No reflective surfaces
2. Varied and abundant detail
3. High image contrast
4. Absence of repetitive patterns
5. Minimal whitespace
6. Preferably a photograph or image with high local contrast, as opposed to logos or vector-based graphics
7. Avoid using images with excessive text

For further guidance on optimizing image target tracking, please refer to our documentation: [8th Wall](https://www.8thwall.com/docs/web/#optimizing-image-target-tracking)

Also make sure the image target stays in the center view of the camera for best tracking.
