My main objection to these type of technologies (I feel similarly about voice control) - is that I don't WANT to use large hand gestures (or verbal expression) to control my device. It's exhausting, and too much interference with the ambient experience. I can control my whole desktop experience with very little wrist motion using my speedy mouse. I have a bunch of extra buttons under my thumb for a variety of tasks as well.
Reaching out with my whole arm to click, or pinch to zoom, is a HORRIBLE user experience. (For most things - clearly VR games and such will be fine).
It seems I can connect an ordinary keyboard and mouse to it though, so I could see using it as essentially a really large monitor. As long as I can point and click with my mouse independent of my eyes or head position, and my text-entry focus doesn't move without permission.
That has been my biggest pet peeve with scifi depiction of futuristic inputs. Why would anyone want to move _more_ not less? Better tech should be more sensitive and accurate allowing us to do more with less not the other way around.
That's also the main reason nobody uses Quest 3's hand tracking despite it being really good. Why would I wave my hands around when I can achieve this with micro movements of my thumb.
