_Include the following details (edit as applicable):_

- **Issue category** : ARDK 3.16, Object detection
- **Device type & OS version** : iOS, Editor
- **Host machine & OS version** : Mac M4 Pro, OS 26
- **Issue Environment** : Simulator & On Device
- **Xcode version** : 26
- **ARDK version** : 3.16
- **Unity version** : 6.0 LTS

Description of the issue:

I setup Lightship Object detection as described in this tutorial: [How to Enable Object Detection | Niantic Spatial Platform](https://www.nianticspatial.com/docs/ardk/how-to/ar/object_detection/) and as I’ve done before in Unity 2022LTS with earlier Lightship version (3.6). However I now encounter a weird bug which is that in editor and on device, the bounding boxes / positions of the detected objects are not correctly shown. Have a look at this side by side comparison:

In horizontal mode on device and in editor, the bounding boxes have a weird offset and never correctly frame around the object while in vertical all ist working fine. Scene setup is exactly like in the tutorial.

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

I somehow resolved this issue myself but I’m not sure how! At least it works now.. If I figure out what it was I will post it here
