Hand tracking has become an integral feature of recent generations of\nimmersive virtual reality head-mounted displays. With the widespread adoption\nof this feature, hardware engineers and software developers are faced with an\nexciting array of opportunities and a number of challenges, mostly in relation\nto the human user. In this article, I outline what I see as the main\npossibilities for hand tracking to add value to immersive virtual reality as\nwell as some of the potential challenges in the context of the psychology and\nneuroscience of the human user. It is hoped that this paper serves as a roadmap\nfor the development of best practices in the field for the development of\nsubsequent generations of hand tracking and virtual reality technologies.\n
