## VIVE Plugin

After enabling the "VIVE Focus3 Hand Tracking" from "Project Settings > XR Plugin-in Management > OpenXR > Android Tab", you can retrieve the [XrHandJointLocationEXT](https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenXR/specs/1.0/html/xrspec.html#XrHandJointLocationEXT) by using the following code.

    using VIVE.OpenXR.Hand;

    XrHandJointLocationEXT[] HandjointLocations = new XrHandJointLocationEXT[(int)XrHandJointEXT.XR_HAND_JOINT_MAX_ENUM_EXT];
    var feature = OpenXRSettings.Instance.GetFeature<ViveHandTracking>();
    if (feature && feature.GetJointLocations(isLeft, out HandjointLocations))
    {
        // now you have the hand joint data
    }

Refer to <VIVE OpenXR sample path>/Plugin/Input/Scripts/VIVE/RenderHand.cs about the sample code.
