Enable/disable hand tracking with gesture/button combination

[Iam_Peacock]

Quest 3 is amazing, but watching a video and eating or doing other things is impossible with hand tracking on.
The hand tracking went everywhere it shouldn't, pausing the video, exiting full screen, dragging the window to another place.

There should be a way to temporarily disable/enable the hand tracking with a gesture or by pressing some power/volume button combination.

This is an absolutely critical feature for hand tracking to be useful for watching videos. It could be a special gesture or a tap sequence on the headset, but not a vocal command. 

I imagine they are already working on this, they'd be foolish not to. I'd be surprised if we don't see it on an updated within 6 months.

It should include a way to prevent the headset cursor for popping up as well. I have never appreciated the device deciding how I interact with it without asking me first.

• For passthrough you can double tap the headset. I like the idea of additonal tap gestures for various things  Id personally like to see and alternating tap (left side then right side) to disable/enable hand and controller tracking. But really I'll take anything.

Yes it's first problem I noticed while watching first movie, my hands tracking was ruining the experience. I turned it off but now it's off.... that makes no sense. At least let us turn it off by the dashboard bar, the first thing we see when we press the meta button please.

Agreed!

It’s been a big issue for me as well. I love watching on a giant screen but it’s a pain to have to manually disable hand tracking to be able to eat at the same time.

I agree that some sort of gesture or triple tap on the headset would be beneficial to enter a “locked” mode. This should also disable the headset cursor. And maybe even the controllers! And a wiggle from the controllers could reenable them. 

Having the option to have automatic switching between controllers and hand tracking is wonderful, but having some sort of manual override without needing to go into settings is a crucial feature

Please make this happen!! There is an app I use within my quest 3 and the gesture to disable hand tracking is to pinch together your thumb and ring finger on your right hand. I would love to see this incorporated locally! Works great!

What is the app that you use? We are also having this issue.

[OckertJ]

Immersed is the app. I hope meta will incorporate this as well!
