+# Third-Party Tutorials: Consuming OpenXR Hand-Tracking Data
+
+## Introduction to Virtual Reality, OpenXR Hand-Tracking, and Gesture Detection in Unreal Engine
+
+In this tutorial, you'll learn how to get the OpenXR Hand-Tracking Data from the Unreal Engine API and how to consume it to draw virtual hand models using cubes (as hand joints). It will also dive into gesture recognition by implementing a simple pinch gesture recognition.
+
+In the first part, it will focus on UE `4.26` to `5.4` API. And, in the second part, you'll learn how to update the project to work with `5.5`.

+## Procedural Virtual Hand Mesh Animation Using OpenXR Hand-Tracking Data
+
+Building on the [Introduction to Virtual Reality, OpenXR Hand-Tracking, and Gesture Recognition in Unreal Engine tutorial](#introduction-to-virtual-reality-openxr-hand-tracking-and-gesture-detection-in-unreal-engine), this slightly more advanced tutorial will dive deeper into the following topics:
+
+- Transitioning seamlessly between motion controller and hand-tracking modes in Unreal Engine.
+- Adding custom debugging gizmos to improve development and testing workflows.
+- Visualizing debug virtual hands by incorporating the custom gizmos.
+- Animating virtual hand meshes with OpenXR hand-tracking data, moving beyond basic joint representation with cubes.
+- Re-using and adapting the gesture recognition code from the introductory tutorial to integrate with the new animated virtual hand meshes.
+This guide will help you take your VR projects to the next level with polished and practical implementations.

+## Build and Deploy Unreal Engine 5.5 Projects to Android and Meta Quest 2/3 in Standalone Mode
+
+This video will guide you through the process of building and deploying an Unreal Engine 5.5 project (or any version newer than `4.24`) to Android Standalone Mode for Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 devices. The steps outlined here should also apply to other Android-based VR headsets.
+
+It will show you where and how to download and install the necessary prerequisites, such as the Android SDK, NDK, Java Development Kit (JDK), and Microsoft Visual Studio. Next, it will configure both the development environment and Unreal Engine for a successful build. Finally, it will walk you through deploying your project to your VR headset and troubleshooting common errors to ensure a smooth experience.
