Valve officially released a feature to the SteamVR stable branch that adds basic hand-tracking to Steam Link for Quest users. Previously only available in the Beta test branch released back in August, the new SteamVR 2.8 update doesn’t actually bring full hand-tracking support to SteamVR’s UI, but rather allows Quest users to DIY their setup for each game by experimenting with input bindings.

Steam Link now supports Quest hand tracking, and forwards it to PC VR apps so they can use it. This feature was tested for months in the Steam Link for Quest Public Beta and SteamVR Beta, and is now available in the stable versions of Steam Link and SteamVR. The Steam Link app forwards hand tracking through to any PC VR app that uses either OpenXR hand tracking or SteamVR Skeletal Input.

For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
