Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth confirmed that the new Meta Quest 3 Touch Plus controllers, which do not have tracking rings, use a fusion of computer vision and hand models to track the controllers accurately. Beat Saber co-founder Jaroslav Beck also reassured fans on Twitter that the tracking is good. The simultaneous tracking of hands and controllers suggests improved hand tracking compared to Meta Quest 2.
Meta's CTO explained how Quest 3's controllers are tracked. The new Touch Plus controllers lack IR LED rings and cameras, but still have infrared LEDs on their face. Quest 3 continuously runs its controller-free hand tracking, which is fused with the controller LED tracking. Beat Saber co-founder Jaroslav Beck confirmed that the tracking is good, and Meta employee Misha Davidov claims the controllers pass the Expert+ test. Ditching the rings has significant usability advantages, allowing for new precise hand-to-hand interactions and improving existing ones.
