Understand the gesture debugger
The gesture debugger scene visualizing a gesture
The gesture debugging scene shows two types of information:
- For every finger, it displays the current values of the finger shapes. This display includes the target value and tolerance for one, configured gesture. You can edit the configured gesture so that the values for gesture you are testing or debugging are shown by the finger graphs.
- An indicator showing whether specific gestures are currently recognized. You can replace or add to the list of recognized gestures by editing the scene.
The gesture visualizer is a Unity scene provided as part of the Gestures Sample that you can import from the XR Hands package. Refer to Install the gesture debugger for instructions.
Finger data display
The finger data display shows the current value for each aspect of a finger's shape. For the configured HandShape asset, the display also shows the target value and (upper & lower) tolerance range for each aspect. You can change the configured HandShape asset by editing the visualizer scene. Refer to Set the HandShape for more information.
An example of the data displayed for a finger
The following table describes each part of the data graph:
| Description | |
|---|---|
| A | The names of the shape values. |
| B | The numeric scale, which is a normalized range between zero and one. |
| C | The finger shape data:
|
| D | The name of the finger. |
Refer to Finger shapes for information about the shape values. Refer to Hand shapes for information about creating and editing HandShape assets.
Gesture detection
The gesture detection section of the gesture visualizer provides indicators that change color when one of the configured gestures is detected. You can change the configured gestures or add to the list by editing the visualizer scene. Refer to Edit the gesture list for more information.

Tip
To see the target values and tolerances for a gesture's finger shapes, you can edit the scene so that the finger data display references the same HandShape asset as the gesture you are interested in.
