As I understand it there are two ways I can track a hand, or a joint, in RealityKit:

  • either, create an AnchorEntity, for example AnchorEntity(.hand(.left, location: .palm))
  • or, set up an ARSession with a HandTrackingProvider ( a lot more code which I haven't repeated here).

Assuming this is correct, when would I want to use one over the other?

If your goal is to anchor a RealityKit entity on a specific joint, RealityKit is the way to go. If you want to work with transforms across multiple joints directly, ARKit might be the better tool.
