Third Sensor Placement

Hello! I hope you all had a great chirsmas time! 
But now, I wanted to know, if I place the 3 Sensors like they show in their "Roomscale Setup" (2 in front, 1 in the back left/right)
and I place the third sensor behind me on the right side, will my hands be tracked when I turn left? Like that I am facing away from all sensors.
And can I place them like this:

Its just about the placement, not the distance of the sensors.
Im just cant understand how the recommended 3 sensor setup would track (one area) behind you. (The opposite side of the rear sensor.)
Thx for ur replies 🙂

Okay, and how far do I need to place the 2 front sensors away from my play area? Because in my room it would be like 20 cm. And what do you mean with 90° to on of the front ones?


Oculus recommend "to put your front two sensors 1-2.7 metres (3-9 feet) in front of where you'll be wearing your headset.

This is what I mean by 90° ...................

P.S. Sensor Bounds is a great (free) app that shows you exactly what each sensor can see.

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.

Recommendation is always to have the 3rd sensor at 90° to one of the front ones.
Mine is set up as recommended and works fine.
