The most interesting ones for me are related to hand tacking. Meta Quest will receive Hand Tracking 2.2, which makes the hand tracking more responsive to fast movements of hands : the system can so track the hands also when the user is playing fitness games like FitXR (or HitMotion: Reloaded).

This will be a newsletter written on the road: I’ve prepared the material in Italy, I’m currently writing these words from the Frankfurt airport (Germany), I will keep writing on the plane across the ocean and I will finalize everything in Sunnyvale (California, USA). But that’s just a speculation of mine.

Interestingly, these controllers are nothing revolutionary, they are not implementing inside-out tracking like the Quest Pro, but they are refining instead the existing design, a bit like Sony did with the controllers of PSVR 2. This was a much awaited feature.
