Hand tracking

The hand tracking feature allows you to use your hands to interact in VR. Hand tracking is

enabled by default.

§ Hand tracking can work in both VR and MR spaces. You can only use hand gestures in apps

that support hand tracking.

§ Developers can use the VIVE Wave SDK to add hand tracking support to VR and MR apps.

You can use hand gestures to do the following:

§ Select items in menus or on screens.

§ Pinch

With your palm facing outward, move your hand to position the cursor, and then

pinch your index finger and thumb together to select.

§ Pinch and drag

With your palm facing outward, pinch and drag to scroll pages or move sliders.

§ Open or close the VIVE Menu. For details, see The VIVE Menu on page 24.

The headset can seamlessly switch between hand tracking and the controllers.
