    Hi everyone, I am trying to implement hand tracking in Unity using OpenXR.

    I was able to implement it using OVR, but that is limited to Oculus devices only. Therefore, I would like to know how I can do that with OpenXR.

    My Unity version is 2021.3.5f1

    Hey @talha-safdar and @jmcgraw961 ,
    We recently released support for hand tracking in OpenXR, although it's a preview package. You should be able to add it to your project by directly editing the manifest and adding this line:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. "com.unity.xr.hands": "1.1.0-pre.2",
    Once you bring it in, there is 
    HandVisualizer
    sample package you can bring in as well which you can use in your project or just to see how to get the hand data from the subsystem. Due to the fact that this is a preview package, we are still working on polishing up a few things like the hand models for the visualizer as well as some updates to documentation and additional samples which will be included in the next XRI package coming out soon(v2.3.0-pre.2). The documentation for the hands package can be found here.

    Hoping the package can provide 0-1 finger curl values for index controllers like steamvr api provides.

    Is there any information on what to fully expect and the timeline of this package? I'd love to use your xr package but if basic gestures are over a year out I'll probably stick to oculus.

    Any information would be helpful?
