Set up Unity's new XR Hands Package - OpenXR based Hand Tracking

In this tutorial I will show you how to set up Unity's new 'XR Hands' Package.
This is a prerelease version of XR Hands, however, so it is not recommended for use in production!

For anyone unable to get the hands to display when you place your controllers on the table, make sure that the Oculus app is set as the default OpenXR runtime and not Steam. You can change this by opening the Oculus app going to Settings and changing "OpenXR Runtime".

This is INSANE!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I wish I could get this to work, but it looks so cool!!!

500TH SUB!

Is there a way to detect hand poses yet?

[@blitzkreig4887]

It's not supported on target platforms. What does that mean ? Isn't OpenXR supported by default on devices ?

Great work!
It is working but I'm not able to grab objects! however, I am using it together with Unity's XR Interaction Toolkit. I added the 'XR Grab Interactable' script and colliders to the virtual object that I wanted to grab but it didn't work.
Anyone can help?

After the announcement of XRI Toolkit V2.3, he links to his sample project, which uses the new Hand Tracking system. It features grabbable objects, buttons and UI Elements!

Hi. Currently Xr hands in now in release and out of preview. XRI toolkit also has a demo scene (Hands interaction Demo) which shows hands interacting with ui and 3d objects. I am not able to understand how this is working. I opened the scene and went through it but I am not able to understand how it is able to detect if the hand is grabbing an object or doing something else. Can you do a video on this?

[@timtaotao]

I'm searching the same tutorial, have you figured it out how to get it done? I tried the hands interaction demo, but I didn't successfully create my own in another project, currently I don't know how the hand object get attached to the visualized hands. Thanks

XR hands are cool, but how would you go about colliding them with objects? I don't want them going through walls, tables and so on...So far they seem limited in that aspect

[@yoyomario]

These are basic visualizers that give you a reference point from your real hand to your virtual hand. In order to create something physically restraining you would have to implement your own logic. There are many physics-based projects already on the internet where hand-tracking is used as a physics-based system.

@@yoyomario using OpenXR’s XR hands? ​​⁠​⁠ would you be so kind to send me a link to at least one of these many projects that i could import into unity? Again, it is easy to setup hands interaction with objects that move, on the other hand….how to make them collide with static objects instead of going throught them that I don’t know…
