Using Quest finger-tracking data in a Unreal Engine 5 PC app

[progmars]

Hi.

I'm interested in integrating finger tracking in my Unreal Engine app, which would be running on a PC and not on Quest.

From the source code, I found that ALVR should expose Quest finger-tracking data to SteamVR if "Enable skeleton" is turned on.

Unreal Engine is currently using OpenXR plugin, which seems to be working a bit differently from the old (now deprecated) OpenVR, but, in theory, it should still somehow receive finger data from ALVR, right? Has anybody tried that?

From reports, UE OpenXR apps with ALVR are still broken. There is an issue with the target surface type
