How to activate hand tracking on Vive Focus Vision?
The Vive Focus Vision supports hand tracking, allowing users to interact with virtual and mixed reality without the need for controllers. This feature is especially useful for VR/MR experiences that support hand interactions.
1. Enable hand tracking
To use hand tracking, you must first activate it in the headset settings:
- Open the headset settings.
- Navigate to Settings > Inputs.
- Enable the “Hand Tracking” option.
2. Prepare the environment
- Place the controllers on a flat surface to avoid interference.
- Hold your hands in front of the headset.
- Wait for the 3D image of your hands and two matching cursors to appear in your field of view.
3. Hand gestures you can use
- Pinch to select: With your palm facing out, position the cursor over the item and pinch your thumb and index finger together to select.
- Pinch and hold to scroll: With your palm facing out, pinch and drag to scroll menus, move sliders, or browse content.
- Pinch with right hand to open the Vive Menu: With the right palm facing in, pinch your thumb and index to open or close the Vive Menu.
4. Switching back to controllers
To reuse the controllers, simply pick them up. If they’ve been idle for too long, you may need to pair them again via settings.
5. Optimizing hand tracking
Hand tracking works in both VR and mixed reality. However, only compatible apps will support it.
- Low-light optimization: Make sure the IR illuminator is enabled in Settings > Advanced for better tracking.
- Developer support: Developers can integrate this technology using the Vive Wave SDK.
By following these steps, you can enable and effectively use hand tracking on the Vive Focus Vision, allowing for a more natural and intuitive experience without controllers.
