Is it possible to use hand tracking with just one hand?

Hi everyone! I’ve been experimenting with ways to give players a more super-real experience.
After attending a gesture recognition session yesterday, I started thinking about removing the hand controllers entirely,  but there’s a problem: without them, I can’t let players move through hand tracking alone.

My game includes boss fights that require precise movement to dodge attacks.
So I’m wondering, is it currently possible to have one hand use gesture tracking while the other hand uses a controller joystick for movement?

Hi ChenYibo​ ! Yes it's possible with using one hand and one controller simultaneously.

In your "OVRManager" component, check "Simultaneous Hands And Controllers Enabled" toggle. After that, you can disable the meshes/components of whichever hand or controller you want to hide. Let us know if this helps! :)
