“The hand tracking is accessible to almost everyone. It is something natural that you don’t have to look out of a headset in order to remember what button ‘B’ is,” adds oak. “That does not mean that controllers should be eliminated. I think ((they become) (you become) (like) smartphone controller are an add-on for power users who want this specific control with discrete inputs.”
