Description

Description:

Hand tracking has stopped working on HoloLens 2. This issue is not limited to the sample I created using v1.4.0 but is also reproducible in the official A-Frame hand tracking example.

Research direction

Start by running the official hand tracking example at https://aframe.io/examples/showcase/handtracking/ on a HoloLens 2 and compare its behavior with A-Frame 1.3.0+. Trace the hand-tracking entry point used by that example to identify where support stopped working. Done means hand tracking works again on HoloLens 2 in both the official example and the reported sample.
