Does hand tracking on Vive Focus Vision work with all VR apps?

No, hand tracking on the Vive Focus Vision does not work with all VR applications. This feature is only compatible with apps that support hand tracking and were developed with the Vive Wave SDK.

1. Compatibility with VR and MR applications

  • Hand tracking can be used in both VR and MR, but only if the application supports it.
  • Some apps still require traditional controllers because they aren’t designed to detect hand gestures.
  • Developers must integrate hand tracking using the Vive Wave SDK.

2. How to check if an app supports hand tracking

  • Check the app’s specifications on VIVEPORT or the developer’s website.
  • Look in the app or game settings for a “Hand Tracking” option.
  • If the app doesn’t respond to gestures, it does not support hand tracking and requires controllers.

3. What to do if an app doesn’t support hand tracking?

  • Use the controllers: Just pick them up and reconnect if necessary.
  • Look for updates: Some developers gradually add hand tracking support via updates.
  • Contact app support: Ask if hand tracking compatibility is planned in the future.

Hand tracking on the Vive Focus Vision only works with apps developed for it using the Vive Wave SDK. For others, standard VR controllers can still be used.
