    When picking up an object like a gun the hand needs to wrap around it like you normally would irl. Its done by posing the hands so that it looks like you're holding the object whenever you pick it up. And i don't know how its done

    Ah. Normally that's done by simply asking the animators to prepare a grabbing animation for each object you might need to grab. And then you just play it, either with Unity's annoying AnimationController system, or with something simple like Animancer.

    I think there's a system in the Steam VR 2.0 plugin to help with this.
