Win 11 Link app hand tracking support
It's been a while since people have talked about this, but now windows 11 is currently the largest in market share value compared to other platforms. Windows 10 has the ability to use hand tracking while using the link cable but windows 11 just... doesn't? It doesn't seem to make sense. I also want to clarify that I have used hand tracking through third party apps (steam link specifically) but those kill my performance as my Wi-Fi can't keep up with the bandwidth needed. I would prefer to use my link cable but currently there's just no option unless I go back to windows 10... but that would require me to redownload EVERYTHING on my computer and possibly end up losing files. Yes I play games where hand tracking is supported (this often gets brought up in discussions about the topic, games that support it exist, that's not the issue. the link app doesn't support it, the games do. I play vrchat for example). I would just like to know if meta has any plans to actually update the functionality across the board for their link app. The last notable change was a redesign of the desktop interface, and before that the only thing I noticed was them killing the watch (it still doesn't work, it's like the object was deleted). I know it's not the most important thing but killing off such a tool is kinda harsh, especially when 3rd party resources can handle such just fine, and so can windows 10 apparently. I'd prefer the stability and quality of the cable while ALSO having hand tracking, steam link causes my game to freeze periodically and the quality drops to that of a potato (almost low enough for me to count the pixels). Anyways, I've covered what I needed. I don't expect to get a response that actually fits what I'm asking for unless some developer for meta comes across this.
Meta XR Plugin - Hand Tracking Testing in Editor
Hi, I have downloaded the MetaXR plugin from this link https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/unreal-engine-5-integration/46.0/ and added it to a fresh unreal engine 5.0.3 project. I have then created a very basic pawn with a camera in it, two motion controllers and two oculus xr hand components. I have set up everything exactly the same way that I would do with 4.26/4.27 when using the OculusVR plugin and the oculus hand component. When I test in the editor with the VR preview I cannot see my hands. The OculusVR plugin and the oculus hand component allowed to easily test in the editor and did not require to launch on the device. Is this not possible anymore with the MetaXR plugin? Am I missing something obvious or any required extra steps? Thanks in advance, Simone
Controller snaps to Hand Wrist (Simultaneous tracking of Controllers and Hands)
Hi everyone, I have an issue that I enabled simultaneous tracking for both controllers and hands, everything works an all, just the controller is stuck in the hand all the time. I'm using Unity version 2022.3.52f1 and the Meta XR All-In-One-SDK version 71.0.0. About the setup: both Controllers and the Hand Tracking have the Show State "Always" since I want them tracked and in the scene constantly. Under Camera Rig "Simultaneous Hands and Controllers" is ticked as well as more below "Launch simultaneous Hand and Controllers mode". Body Tracking is by the way NOT enabled. Now further about the problem, when I have my controller in the hand it shows hand and controller, which is fine of course, but when I let go of the controller the virtual controller snaps to the wrist of my tracked hand and the virtual controller doesn't track my real controller anymore. When I pick it up again, the controller is tracked like nothing happened. This is for both hands and I couldn't achieve the effect I want like in this video, where both hands and controllers are constantly tracked and visible, no snapping to the wrist, but the controller stays where I put it down: https://youtu.be/ShIeLRZbUEA?si=UWLEchRaYYu9JS7M&t=348 I really hope you guys know what to do here, thanks ahead for the answers already!
