I am working with a basic image target set up inside of Studio and looking to have 3D objects project when the targets are visible to the camera. The issue is when the targets are visible and the mobile camera/ device is rotated the 3D model disappears for a quick second then reapers. I need the 3D object to remain visible at all times without disappearing. Currently it seems as if the rotation component of the camera is what’s causing the issue to happen. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ---

Hi, welcome to the forums! It sounds like the tracking for your image target isn’t that great. Can you show a picture of your target image? Do you still see the issue when testing with a different image? ---

Absolutely, thanks for getting back to me. Attached are the images that I am currently using for image tracking. ![Dino_Image_Target (1)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/2X/b/b2653bcd3aab3bba5d9035dd91dd9df5942c6989.jpeg) ---

Here is a screen shot of the tracking working just fine. Until I rotate the camera / device. ![Screenshot_20250415_151617_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/x8thwall/original/2X/3/34f3206e1af187d05cb1f59b1ba4c7c581b9756d.jpeg) ---

Hmm the target looks good to me, however it looks like you need to reduce the size of the textures on your 3D model. WebGL can have some weird things happen if you have unoptimized models. > **[Your 3D Models on the Web | 8th Wall](https://www.8thwall.com/docs/guides/your-3d-models-on-the-web/)** > > We recommend using 3D models in GLB (glTF 2.0 binary) format for all WebAR experiences.

This solution isn’t viable. The flicker is still occurring. Even with a basic cube from within the viewport. ---

Can you record a video of the issue? Also which device are you using? ---

This issue occurs whenever the phone is rotated or moved quickly. Causing the 3d model to disappear for a second then reappear. I have tried multiple images with various levels of contrast and it does the same thing ---

Hmm, This looks like something I should show to the engineering team. In the meantime I would adjust the amount of detail in the Image Target and give it more feature points to attach to. My theory is that the Target Image isn’t detailed enough to remain “sticky”.
