Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator, two popular VR titles from Owlchemy Labs, are now available on Apple Vision Pro with enhanced hand tracking capabilities. This marks a significant step in VR gaming, allowing players to interact without physical controllers. Despite some minor issues, the experience on Vision Pro is poised to set a new standard for hand-tracked VR interactions.
Apple's Vision Pro, a mixed reality-capable headset, relies on hand tracking for interaction, but struggles with more complex 3D interactions compared to Meta's Quest headsets. Owlchemy Labs, known for VR games like Job Simulator and Vacation Simulator, is adapting its games to work with hand tracking on Vision Pro. The current phase of hand-based mixed reality is compared to the early days of touch-based smartphones, with the need for more natural interactions and advanced feedback through specialized controllers. Apple may focus on enhancing 3D interactions for VisionOS 2.0 at WWDC 24, but the potential for new advanced controllers in the future remains.
