How does Hand Tracking work?
Hand Tracking works by using the inside-out cameras on Oculus Quest 2 and Quest. Your headset will detect the position and orientation of your hands and the configuration of your fingers. Once detected, computer vision algorithms are used to track the movement and orientation of your hands.

To turn Hand Tracking on or off:
1. Press oculus icon on your right Touch controller to pull up your universal menu.
2. Hover over the clock on the left side of the universal menu. When Quick Settings appears, select it to open the Quick Settings panel.
3. Select  Settings in the top right corner.
4. Select Device from the left menu, then select Hands and Controllers.
5. Select the toggle next to Hand Tracking to turn it on or off.
 
From here, you can also turn auto switch for hand tracking on or off.
 
  • If this setting is on, your headset will automatically switch between using your hands or controllers if you put your controllers down or pick them up.
  • If this setting is off, you will need to manually enable and disable hand tracking.
