Does hand tracking on the Meta Quest 3 work with all VR applications ?

With the release of the Meta Quest 3, hand tracking technology has been further enhanced, offering an immersive and intuitive experience in the world of virtual reality. However, this feature is not universally compatible with all VR applications. In this article, we explain how hand tracking works and which apps support this technology.

Hand tracking on the Meta Quest 3

Hand tracking on the Meta Quest 3 is an exciting innovation that provides a more immersive experience by allowing users to interact with virtual reality without the need for controllers. However, it is not universally compatible with all VR applications.

App compatibility with hand tracking

This feature is only available for apps that have specifically integrated hand tracking. In other words, if an app has not been updated to support this feature, you will still need to use the traditional controllers to navigate and interact in the virtual environment.

Check compatibility in the Meta Horizon store

To find out if an app supports hand tracking, simply check the app’s page on the Meta Horizon store. If this feature is supported, it will be clearly indicated in the Input Methods section of the app description. A specific mention of “Hand Tracking” will confirm that you can enjoy this technology.

Although hand tracking is not yet a standard for all apps, its availability is steadily increasing. Over time, it is likely that more and more apps will adopt this feature, offering a more natural and wireless VR experience.

Hand tracking on the Meta Quest 3 does not work with all VR apps, but its compatibility is clearly indicated in the app descriptions on the Meta Horizon Store.
