Meta Quest

First Hand is an official Hand Tracking demo built by Meta. Experience the magic of interacting with the virtual world directly with your hands. Use switches, levers, virtual UIs as you solve puzzles to build robotic gloves, and then experience their superpowers.

We built First Hand to demonstrate the capabilities and the variety of interaction models possible with Hands. This demo is built using the Presence Platform’s Interaction SDK, a library of interaction components, gestures and tools to build magical hand and controller interactions. This demo is also available as an open source project for developers who would like to easily replicate similar interactions.

We drew inspiration in this demo from First Contact, the original Meta experience showcasing controller interactions.

My honest thought

I usually don't write reviews for games but this one was much more different than all the other games I played When I first got the gloves it started giving me half life alyx vibes I loved the story I encountered only one glitch I really want more content to be in the game because this is truly the best vr game I have a top 5 vr games This ranks 2nd under bonelabs And that says something I highly recommend you to get this game

Great !

I had issues teleporting, and after a while, I was able to figure it out. The instructions are not that good. All you have to do is move the top right button that looks like a joy stick up and point the beam in the direction you want to go then release the button. This will move you to the different sections. The goal is to point the beam in the circle of the GPS sign when you see it. You must try it, I was able to complete the whole game. I wish this was a series.

Great short game

This was one of the first things I played. I really liked it. Would love more full, longer games like this developed. At the end were a bunch of circles with apparently different worlds. Would be fun to be able to go into them and interact in the same way.

Great hand-eye coordination training

Not played this through yet, but let my frustration be your guide. Before launching this, turn on the hand tracking in the main menu. This does not work with the controllers, it is not designed to. Developers, can you please add a nice big un-missable sign to let idiots like myself know to swap to hand tracking.

Unreal engine SDK

Hey Meta! We really need this for Unreal Engine asap, today the standard set by Apple is no controllers, and I'm pretty sure that you are aware of that, so as a developer for the Oculus I'm asking for some help here. The SDK for unity isn't compatible with our game, we work in UE5. Thank you!
