Finger tracking itself is fully supported both through updating orientation of meshes, for which a sample scene is included in the plugin, and through animating a skeleton and bone deformation. Windows Mixed Reality headsets are currently only supported through SteamVR as WMR natively only supports DirectX game engines.

APRIL 14, 2021

NVIDIA Real Time Denoiser (NRD) NRD is a spatio-temporal API-agnostic denoising library that’s designed to work with low ray-per-pixel signals. Unity has announced that DLSS will be natively supported in Unity Engine version 2021.2 introduces a new boost feature that further reduces latency when a game becomes CPU render thread bound.
