Description: These aren’t even your hands. These are precision-tuned sensor-rich re-imaginings of your hands, presented in a high-fidelity simulated reality. If you’ve always longed to try these exciting edge-of-your-wrist hand manoeuvres, but wanted the chance to practice first in the safety of a non-judgmental virtual world, Aperture Hand Lab is easily in the top three options currently available to you in VR.
Review: If you are lucky enough to have the Valve Index controllers you might want to give this free demo a try. You will be performing a small range of hand motions like Grabbing, Shaking & Waving, all of which are used to showcase the haptic feedback of the controls. It looks great, works well and should be one of the first things owners of the Valve Index try, but it does work with the HTC Vive as well, but obviously it won’t be as good.
