Setting Up Your Space
BEGINNER ACADEMY · 5 MIN READ
Hand tracking lives or dies on three variables: light, framing, and distance. Get them right once and every session after feels instant.
You do not need a studio. A desk lamp, an arm's length of space, and a plain background cover ninety percent of tracking issues reported by first-time players.
If the skeleton flickers, fix the light before you blame the model. Backlight is the number one cause of lost hands.
Setup checklist
Light your hands, not your screen
Front lighting beats backlight. A desk lamp behind the camera works better than a window behind you.
Frame both hands
Sit back until both hands fit the frame with room to tilt. Elbows resting is fine.
Keep the background boring
A plain wall outperforms a busy room. Contrast around your hands is what the tracker reads.
Calibrate once
Raise both hands until the skeleton locks. If tracking drifts, re-raise instead of restarting.
Read less, play more. Open the practice panel and try the gesture from this lesson — camera optional, Mouse Mode included.
