I found very interesting that they are trying to create full-body VR content for the Oculus Quest. Of course, this can’t work perfectly, but I think they’ve done a nice job, because sometimes this pose reconstruction was indeed coherent with the actual position of my body, and it felt like black magic. It was cool the same, though.

The shape of the controllers is slightly different than the one of the Oculus Touch, though, and there is a ring that surrounds the wrist of the user. There is also “finger-tracking” a la Valve Index , but just for the thumb, index, and middle finger (so, it is more a la Oculus Touch). Some XR fun.
