To create custom hand gestures in visionOS, you can utilize the full hand skeleton tracking provided by ARKit. Here are some key points on how to define and implement custom gestures:

  1. Hand Skeleton Tracking: You have access to full hand skeleton tracking, which allows you to get the positions of various joints in world coordinates.

  2. Gesture Definition: For example, to create a circle-shaped gesture, you can check the distance between the tips of both index fingers and both thumbs. If the distance is smaller than a certain threshold (e.g., 4 units), the gesture is recognized.

  3. Combining Gestures: You can combine system gestures with custom gestures within the same game. This allows for a more intuitive and seamless user experience.

  4. Feedback Mechanism: When designing custom gestures, ensure that players know they are performing the gesture correctly by providing appropriate visual and auditory feedback.

  5. Accessibility: Consider building alternatives for players with different abilities. For instance, provide options for one-handed mode if your game typically requires two-handed input.
