### Known Issues
- With the new OpenXR release, the separation of the real and virtual hand rendering is broken. The reason is the animation system now uses the OpenXR data in the world transforms which yields better animations, but comes at the cost of overriding the the hand position set by the wrist tracker component's position and rotation. If `FXRMotionControllerData` is invalid and `bVisibleWhenHandDataUnavailable` is enabled for example, the system works as expected, since the animation system won't proceed to animate the hand meshes without valid `FXRMotionControllerData`. Since the animation system is only aware of the hand mesh it's animating versus the real hand and virtual hand meshes it means either it should become aware of the physics events like begin and end overlap events and also the real vs virtual hands, or it should resort back to animating the virtual hand meshes in local or component space. This release marks this feature as broken for now until we come up with a reasonable solution in the future.
- The `UXRDeviceVisualizationComponent` provided by Unreal Engine is used in the SGPawn class as ControllerVisualizerLeft and ControllerVisualizerRight for implementing the wrist tracking hardware visualization feature. However, it is not compatible with the new OpenXR system in certain scenarios. For instance, when the motion controllers serve as wrist tracking hardware since the SenseGlove plugin is now introduced to the engine as an `OpenXRHandTracking` system, it causes the UXRDeviceVisualizationComponent to visualize the wrist tracking hardware at coordinates (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f) instead of their actual location and rotation in the world. This happens because the component incorrectly registers them as inactive, possibly because it's assumed hand tracking and motion controllers cannot be in use at the same time. Currently, we use this feature solely for debugging, and we have an alternative in the form of wrist-tracking debug gizmos, which can be toggled on or off via the settings system. In future releases, we might remove this feature due to its incompatibility, unless we find a solution to make the `UXRDeviceVisualizationComponent` work with the new system. Alternatively, we may develop our own version of the `UXRDeviceVisualizationComponent`.

- Although the SenseGlove OpenXR implementation is fully compatible with the `IOpenXRHMD` interface and the `FOpenXRHMD` `XRTrackingSystem`, it is not compatible with the `FOculusXRHMD` backend provided by the Meta XR plugin. The same issue likely applies to the VIVE OpenXR plugin. So, if these plugins are enabled in your project, the SenseGlove OpenXR will not function as intended, effectively breaking the plugin's functionality. It seems these plugins are necessary in order to make the fallback to the hand-tracking feature work on Android. While we may add support and compatibility with Meta XR and VIVE OpenXR plugins in the future, for the time being, if your project requires these plugins, we advise continuing with the `v2.0.x` release of the SenseGlove Unreal Engine plugin until this issue is addressed.
