Meta Quest Hand Tracking Update Allows Better Gestures, Typing on VR without Peripherals

Your hands are enough to control your VR experience.

Meta provides a significant update to the Quest VR headsets, and it is with the latest hand-tracking capabilities of its devices to better perceive commands. Users only need their hands for their virtual reality experience, no longer requiring peripherals like remote controls or keyboards to know what they want to happen on the device.

This is a massive advancement for the Quest VR, especially as it would enable users to move freely and experience different games better, with their hands, free of accessories.

Meta Quest: Hand-Tracking Update is Here

The famous VR company announced the arrival of the Quest's v50 update which delivers new features for the public to use, including a better version of its hand-tracking features for the device.

One of the main focuses of Meta here is to introduce the "Direct Touch" feature, centering on allowing better gestures and control in the digital world.

There would be no need to pinch on specific items, as there would be virtual buttons, delivering a more natural feel when selecting things in real life, like on touch screens.

With the Direct Touch, users may also type on a virtual keyboard which the VR device would track, with their in-VR hands or fingers performing what their real-life limbs are doing.

No Need for Peripherals on Meta Quest

Meta is all about improving the VR experience for the world, and with the latest v50 update on Quest, it expands a bit more for users to deliver a way to enjoy virtual reality in a more natural sense. This means that everything is virtual from Meta, with little to no need for peripherals to connect on their devices, perform actions and access specific features for the VR world.

Meta Quest v50 also brings in-game multitasking for all versions, and an exclusive "Pick and Play" feature available on the Meta Quest Pro device.

Meta Quest VR Features

Meta brought massive developments for its VR ventures available in the world, and the company had the famous hand-tracking features available since December 2019. However, there were several challenges to its use, as people need to do specific gestures and actions to select items on the virtual plane, which does not feel natural to some.

Since 2019, Meta has been flexing the capabilities of its VR with hand-tracking, and the company promised more experiences to arrive on its wearables.

There are leaks regarding an upcoming feature from Meta, focusing on the body tracking features that it will roll out to the public soon, but it is still not yet available as of this writing.

The company brought advanced experiences and features for its virtual reality ventures which its users already enjoy, especially with its advancements and improvements through the years. This new hand-tracking update centers on giving users a more natural feel in using their virtual hands to select things, expanding more of the digital experience to their needs.
