Hand tracking

The hand tracking feature allows you to use your hands as controllers with VIVE Focus Vision.

Note:

Hand tracking can work in both VR and MR spaces. You can only use hand gestures in apps that support hand tracking.
Developers can use the VIVE Wave SDK to add hand tracking support to VR and MR apps.

Go to Settings > Inputs and enable Hand Tracking.
Place the controllers on a level surface and position your hands in front of the headset. A 3D likeness of your hands and two corresponding cursors will appear in front of you.
You can use the following hand gestures:
- Pinch to select
  With your palm facing outward, move your hand to position the cursor, and then pinch your thumb and index finger together to select.
- Pinch and drag to scroll
  With your palm facing outward, pinch and drag to scroll pages or move sliders.
- Pinch with your right hand to open the VIVE Menu
  With your right palm facing inward, pinch your thumb and index finger together to open the VIVE Menu. Use the same gesture to close the menu.

Tip:

To resume use of the controllers, simply pick them back up. You may need to pair them again if they become idle.
Make sure IR illuminator is on if your play area is not well lit as it can help improve hand tracking. To check if IR illuminator is on, go to Settings > Advanced.
