Hand physics Capsules not following the fingers

Hello, 

I was wondering if any knows how to add physics colliders to the Meta Avatars / Avatar2s like you could do with the “Enable Physics Capsules” checkbox on the OVR Custom Skeleton component of the OVRCustomHandsPrefab. 

Apparently it's still not fixed in August 2023. I was trying the hands train example in the sample framework and wondered why the little blue spheres representing the fingertip capsules remained in a fixed position wrt the palms. Adding those two lines made them move with the fingers.

Thanks all for the thread and raytsang1120 for sharing the solution. Does anyone know if there's a built-in solution with the OVR tools though?

I think we have a new challenge now: the move to package-based SDKs. I'm excited about that change, but I think it creates a problem with the solution above that directly edits the OVRSkeleton file. For me, that's in the SDK packages and part of the Unity Package Cache so I believe any edits to the file will be overwritten. I believe the solution above could still work if we clone and overwrite the package, but has anyone found a solution within the OVR framework?

I believe I've found a built-in solution. The Interaction SDK has a new solution to render capsules. Link: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/unity-isdk-hand-physics-capsules/

The attached image shows: I attached "HandPhysicsCapsules" to a hand within OVRHands then linked the object references In-Editor based on best guesses and what I saw in the "HandVisual" component on OVR[Left/Right]HandVisual.

Not Shown: I also unchecked "Enable Physics Capsules" on the OVRHandPrefabs (it seems the Interaction SDK takes care of the solution separately).

I'm still testing, but I believe this might work, seems to be supported within the tooling itself, and does not require changes to package code.

Update: seems to be working smoothly. I'd still welcome feedback and official guidance from Meta though. I'd especially like to know what this means for when (if ever) we should use "Enable Physics Capsules" on the OVRHandPrefab.

The easiest fix for this is probably to call

Physics.autoSyncTransforms = true;
