If PlayerStart is rotated, GoogleVRMotionController component is not oriented accoring to player’s rotation.
This is possibly related to issue UE-28914.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create character with GoogleVRMotionController.
  2. Rotate PlayerStart.
  3. Run project on real device (won’t reproduce in VR preview mode).

Results (looking down to show daydream controller mesh orientation):

PlayerStart is not rotated - daydream controller mesh is correctly positioned:

PlayerStart’s yaw is rotated by 180 degrees - daydream controller mesh is properly rotated while player faces (0,0,0) rotation. This makes controller unusable:

Please suggest workarounds. I’ve tried SetControlRotation of PlayerController but this doesn’t work.
