Hello Meta team and community,
I’m reaching out on behalf of a colleague who just bought a Meta Quest 3s and is incredibly excited to explore everything in VR. However, he has a unique challenge: he was born without a thumb on his right hand, which makes it difficult or impossible to use standard hand gestures that require thumb-index interaction.
We’ve included photos of his hand to illustrate how he approximates these gestures with his remaining fingers. Unfortunately, the current hand-tracking system doesn't recognize these movements.
Request:
We would love to see an accessibility mode or a user-defined gesture calibration tool that allows people with non-standard hand anatomy to map their own gesture equivalents. This would be life-changing for many and open up VR to a broader community of users.
My colleague would be honored to work with the Meta team to test or provide further feedback. We also have a video ready to share showing how he gestures in real time.
Thanks for considering accessibility and inclusivity in your development roadmap.
