Frame-based sensors, which traditionally power hand and/or eye tracking on these headsets, tend to drain batteries, so they can’t be used for hours on end. Hand tracking (and, as models get more sophisticated, even finger tracking) reduces friction in the MR experience and powers more intuitive digital interaction.
