Meta’s hand tracking could become a big deal.
Meta is testing what could become a foundational upgrade to its Quest VR headsets: a way to tap and scroll on virtual elements with only your hands, no controllers required. The idea is that you’ll be able to do actions you might already be familiar with from your smartphone, like swiping up and down a page, pressing a button to activate it, or typing on an onscreen keyboard, using just your fingers in the air.
When hand tracking is on, the Quest 2 uses its external-facing cameras to follow your hands, and inside the headset, you’ll see them in VR as dark hand-like shadows. You can use those shadows to approximate when your hand will “touch” a menu or window in front of you. With Direct Touch, when you make “contact,” things will start to scroll or light up. Scrolling is jerky, but it’s usually more responsive than I thought it would be.
The bad typing and decent scrolling mean that the Quest web browser is perhaps the best showcase of the Direct Touch controls. If I fudge up the spelling of a web search, the search engine is probably going to fix it. Scrolling up and down works well enough, as does tapping on links. Weirdly,homepage doesn’t scroll past our Top Stories list on the Quest’s browser for some reason, but tapping any one of the six stories I can actually see works better than I expected.
