Meta has officially released its hand tracking demo, First Hand, designed to introduce Quest buyers to advanced interactions built around hand tracking.

It is understood that "First Hand" is built using the Presence Platform Interaction SDK, allowing players to use switches, joysticks and virtual menus when solving puzzles to build robotic gloves to experience the bare-handed experience of directly interacting with the virtual world with their hands. charm. While wearing these gloves, players can gain superpowers like the Iron Man suit or Alyx's Gravity Gloves.

The demo provided by Meta's App Lab program only lists Quest and Quest 2 support for hand tracking. According to Meta, the app's creators took inspiration from the company's original Oculus Rift first-touch demo. For the Oculus Quest, Meta released First Steps as a demo, initially relying only on tracked controllers to introduce players to VR interactions. Last year, though, the company added support for hand tracking as part of a push to adopt a bare-hand input system.

"First Hand is being released on App Lab as an open source project for developers who want to understand and easily replicate similar interactions in their own games and apps," Meta said.

The Presence Platform Interaction SDK, released ahead of Project Cambria, Meta's high-end headset, could take the company's hand-tracking technology to new heights. The headset will launch this year, but its exact release date and pricing are still unknown.
