Meta brings an AI-enhanced version of hand tracking to Quest 2. Meta introduced experimental hand tracking in December 2019 for Meta Quest 1. In May 2020, visual hand and finger tracking left the beta phase and became a regular feature. In April 2021, Meta brought high-frequency hand tracking to Quest 2, which improved gesture recognition and reduced latency. The downsides of this optional feature are that hands shake a bit more and the performance of the XR2 chip is artificially downclocked to avoid overheating, which can negatively impact the performance of VR apps. Just under a year after this upgrade comes "Hand Tracking 2.0", which replaces high-frequency hand tracking and eliminates its drawbacks.
