THIS quest 2 updates will most likely affect you | Hand Tracking 2.1

Hand tracking upgrade 2.1 coming to Quest 2 soon and might be more important than you think

To minimize tracking interruptions, Meta accelerated the reinitialization of tracking after dropouts which results in a faster “recovery” and fewer interruptions while playing overall

Another improvement is the introduction of a new dedicated AI model that improves hand pose detection.

The artificial neural network allows for a more accurate match of virtual and physical hands.

Resulting in fewer overshoots and smoother hand poses

Last but not least, Meta improved pinch gesture recognition.

This reduces erroneous capture, even under difficult conditions.

Hand Tracking 2.1 is rolling out to Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro by the end of the year.
