Architecture

  • Meta XR Interaction SDK for hand input via IHand interface and CompoundHandRef
  • ShapeRecognizer detects three core poses:
    • Fist
    • Chop
    • Palm
  • TransformRecognizerActiveState combines shape and transform data for pose activation
  • Velocity tracking uses a 12-sample circular buffer capped at 6.8 m/s
  • Timeline-driven choreography with custom MarkerTrack for beat sequencing
  • Reactive state machine using StringPropertyBehaviour

Pose detection pipeline

// ShapeRecognizer defines finger curl/spread thresholds
// TransformRecognizerActiveState combines shape + spatial checks
ShapeRecognizer fistRecognizer; // all fingers curled
ShapeRecognizer chopRecognizer; // fingers extended, hand edge forward
ShapeRecognizer palmRecognizer; // fingers extended, palm facing target

Requirements

  • Quest with hand tracking enabled
  • Unity 2022.3.22f1
  • Android build target
  • Meta XR SDK v68
