PSVR2 PC: Finger sensing
H3VR supports the finger tracking of the Index Knuckles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE2j5MVjfcg), used to pick up objects without needing a button press and so on. The PSVR2 is getting SteamVR drivers not very long from now and its controllers can detect finger placement and a short distance to certain buttons - in other words, the controller can detect when you're touching the button and when your finger is a short distance from the button - and the official press release says this will be supported on PC. (https://blog.playstation.com/2024/06/03/playstation-vr2-players-can-access-games-on-pc-with-adapter-starting-on-august-7/)

My unfounded, 100% delusional cope is that because these are SteamVR drivers, the finger sensing will "just work" with games that support knuckles-specific features like H3VR and Alyx and so on.

If it doesn't work out-of-box and custom integration work is needed, will H3VR support the finger sensing of the PSVR2 SteamVR drivers or given that the drivers have not actually been released yet (perhaps it is too early to even post this thread... in which case, sorry, and I will come back afterwards), is it too early to tell?

The ideal functionality to me would be something like, placing your finger on LT, RT etc would be an 'closed hand', and then removing your finger from the relevant button would count as a 'open hand' and would pick up/place/throw (etc) an item without needing a button press. Granted I have no idea how difficult such a thing would be.

Given the PSVR2 as a headset is not that popular and PC support seems to be something of a "hail mary", will support for it even be implemented?

Bonus request: Controller models for PSVR2 Sense, please :)

I don't intend to do any custom hardware support for them. If the controllers send finger curl data, it will 'just work' for the H3 meat fingers.

I will be doing a PSVR2 controller model tho.

Thank you for the answer and your work on the game over a long period of time, given there are so many headsets I totally understand the decision (although unfortunate for me if it doesn't work). If custom hardware support is needed then hopefully someone will mod it in.
