Although his original background is in architecture, his current work in VR spans from indie games like Cubism to enterprise software for architects and engineers like Resolve. One instance where I realized I was over-scoping was with my plans to support hand-tracking in the initial release of the game.

The Reverb was already a very good headset (as you can read in my hands-on impressions ) with good comfort and an astonishing resolution, but it had some problems with the display (mura, red smearing) and with the controllers (classical mediocre WMR tracking). built in to headband Controllers ?—?6DOF 75Hz FOV ?—?101

It’s a good read , full of interesting anecdotes, like when it is written that Beat Saber became the testbench for the tracking of the Quest controllers , or that Asgard’s Wrath, in the beginning, was a tower defense game. Cubism is a great case study for hand tracking UX. What puzzles me is why this partnership.

And to be clear, I used it in a real home, not a carefully controlled demo environment or a well-lit studio. In the Shared Space where rendering is controlled by Apple it mostly just works, though very occasionally you’ll see minor visual artifacts in the periphery. The main form is hand and arm occlusion.

Many game engines – such as Unity, Unreal and SteamVR- immediately support it. A goggle is better with an eye tracker, a hand controller and a haptic device. Eye tracking software converts eye images into gaze direction. Hand tracking software converts hand position into gestures.
