Hand tracking

The hand tracking feature allows you to use your hands to interact in VR. Hand tracking is enabled by default.
Note:
  • 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.
The headset can seamlessly switch between hand tracking and the controllers.
  • To use the controllers, pick them up and position them in front of the headset.
  • To switch back to hand tracking, place the controllers on a level surface and position your hands in front of the headset.
Tip: To disable hand tracking, do any of the following:
  • Open the VIVE Menu, select Settings, and then select the hand tracking toggle .
  • Go to Settings, select Inputs, and then turn off Hand tracking.
