Setting Up the Wrist Tracking Hardware

To enable the SenseGlove Unreal Engine Plugin to track the gloves position and rotation in the world, you need to specify a positional tracking hardware, referred to as Wrist Tracking Hardware within the plugin. By default, if the Wrist Tracking Hardware is not explicitly set, the plugin will attempt to automatically detect it by identifying your Head-mounted display (HMD) hardware. However, this auto-detection feature may not be entirely reliable, as it is still experimental, and it may occasionally fail.

For detailed information, please visit the Wrist Tracking Hardware and HMD auto-detection configuration section.

Prerequisites

Before you even consider setting up the Wrist Tracking Settings for the SenseGlove Unreal Engine Plugin, please make sure that you have already taken all the necessary steps in the Enabling XR_EXT_hand_tracking OpenXR Extension on VR Headsets section for PCVR or Standalone modes. Otherwise, there's no guarantee that the plugin can access the location data from the wrist-tracking hardware of your choice. So, as the first troubleshooting measure, we always recommend double-checking the relevant prerequisite guides above.
