What is Direct Touch and Body Tracking?

Direct Touch and Body Tracking is a new technology that allows users to physically touch and interact with virtual objects using handheld controllers. The controllers track the movements of your hands and fingers. This gives you the ability to pick up, hold, and manipulate objects in the virtual world just as you would in real life.

Zuckerberg is working on making things more engaging for the masses with the Quest v50 release (and others)! The technology driving Direct Touch and Body Tracking is advanced and sophisticated. The handheld controllers provide sensors that track the movements of your hands and fingers, allowing the virtual world to respond in real-time. The controllers also have haptic feedback. This provides physical sensations, such as vibrations or pressure, to enhance the immersive experience.
