ARKit hand tracking does not work in volumes in the shared space. According to the session "Explore game input in visionOS," ARKit and hand tracking are not available when your game or app is in the shared space alongside other visionOS apps. Hand tracking is only available in a full space, where your app is the only one appearing, whether in mixed, progressive, or full space.
