Oculus Quest is a VR headset that helps users enjoy tetherless immersive experiences. It consists of a headset and a pair of hand controllers. Players do not need a computer or a mobile phone to start a game, thus they can play both indoors and outdoors. Also, for some time now, users have been able to find VR hand tracking games compatible with Oculus Quest.
To play regular VR games on Oculus Quest, you need to hold the controllers in each hand. However, game developers imagined something better: games in which players only have to move their empty hands, and the movement is tracked and has effects in the virtual world.
Thus, VR hand tracking games are even more fun to play, because users have greater freedom of movement. This is an excellent choice for playing outdoors as well as for beginners who are not skilled at coordinating the controllers.
We reviewed a number of titles available for Oculus Quest and selected those we find most engaging and exciting. Please note you may need to install the SideQuest application in order to play some of the hand tracking games.
