Hand tracking is a feature that allows users to interact with applications without the need for controllers or other input devices. The Magic Leap 2 uses a combination of cameras and sensors to detect and track hand movements in real time, which allows for accurate interactions with digital objects. A selection of common gestures, such as pointing, grabbing, and pinching can be recognized by the headset and can be used in applications. 
In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement hand tracking and gesture recognition in a Magic Leap 2 application, including an example where hand tracking is used to manipulate meshes in a 3D model viewer.
