Its called the Mesh Stencil, I have the exact issue. It'll be fixed in the next release. You can turn off the stencil by doing the following :

Go to: Program FIles/Oculus/Support/oculus-diagnostics/ and double-click OculusDebugTool.exe

A little window will appear, find Use FOV Stencil and turn from Auto to Off. alt text

Apparently, this is a known problem with the Oculus. To solve it, you have to turn off the Occlusion mesh. How? I don't know.

Try going to settings and under the render settings turn off dynamic occlusion.

However I have never heard of this issue and would actually suggest culling by on and baked for VR.

Thinking about your strange box and the way occlusion and Frustum Culling work you may have something on the player objects head that is being rendered in the game and as such it could just be as easy as changing the near clipping in your VR camera or setting the players head on a layer the VR camera doesn't see/render.

Thanks for the answer but unfortunately tweeking the clipping don't affect the box. It might be rendered afterwards.
