Hand collision system
For the hands in VR we had to strike a balance between realistic collision and usability. Using unreal physics for when the player is holding an object only, ensuring puzzles cant be broken, but the player still as an easy time grabbing objects.
Grab positioning
Adapting a solution from VR Expansion Plugin, in order to quickly be able to pose a lot of hand positions for grabbing objects. Within an object blueprint developers can add a poseable hand, make a pose, and set up mirroring for the left hand. Making creating new objects a lot less of a hassle.
