Xcode – VisionOS Development – Detect which hand executed the gesture

Is it possible to detect which hand chirality that executed a gesture?

For example,

    TapGesture(count: 2)
            .targetedToAnyEntity()
            .onEnded { value in
                // if left hand
                    // do something
                // if right hand
                    // do something
            }

    I do not think SwiftUI offers that information as of visionOS 1.1. You’ll need to use ARKit’s hand tracking APIs if you want to know which hand is gesturing. It will be a substantial amount of work. Start with the ARKit in visionOS documentation and check out the HandTrackingProvider class.

    With VisionOS 2 it will be possible using Compositor-Services

    SpatialEventGesture

    
struct ParticlePlayground: View {
    @State var model = ParticlesModel()


    var body: some View {
        Canvas { context, size in
            for particle in model.particles {
                context.fill(Path(ellipseIn: particle.frame),
                             with: .color(particle.color))
            }
        }
        .gesture(
            SpatialEventGesture()
                .onChanged { events in
                    for event in events {
                        if event.phase == .active { //or chirality

                            // Update particle emitters.
                            model.emitters[event.id] = ParticlesModel.Emitter(
                                location: event.location
                            )
                        } else {
                            // Remove emitters when no longer active.
                            model.emitters[event.id] = nil
                        }
                    }
                }
                .onEnded { events in
                    for event in events {
                        // Remove emitters when no longer active.
                        model.emitters[event.id] = nil
                    }
                }
        )
    }
