# [Update] Support for SteamVR Skeletal Hand Tracking in VRChat (Open-Beta)
Starting from VRChat (Open-Beta) 2024.3.1 (opens new window) on 2024/7/25, VRChat officially supports SteamVR skeletal hand tracking.
- This allows for finger bending actions on each joint of the hand using ContactGlove in VRChat without having to configure OSC settings individually for each avatar.
- You can also use Avatar Gestures (hand signs) in VRChat without configuring OSC settings.
- To reflect custom Avatar Gestures (hand signs) from DivingStation on your avatar, OSC settings are required.
- Switching to VRChat Open-Beta can be done by opening Steam, navigating to SteamVR Library > VRChat > Gear Icon > Properties > Betas, and selecting Open-Beta from the tab in the upper right corner.

# [Important] For SDK Users
We have made significant updates to our SDK and communication protocol to enhance future expandability. As a result, the existing Unity SDK will no longer be usable starting from DivingStation v1.5.0. Additionally, the UnrealEngine SDK has not yet been updated to support the new protocol. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to developers using the existing Unity SDK and UnrealEngine SDK. Please take one of the following actions:
- Update to the new Unity SDK
- You can update to the new Unity SDK by following the documentation.
- The documentation will be available at https://docs.diver-x.jp/en/ within a few days.
- Continue using the old version of DivingStation (v1.4)
- DivingStation v1.4, which supports the existing Unity SDK and UnrealEngine SDK, will continue to be supported. Version 1.4.5 can be downloaded from https://diver-x.jp/download.
- To prevent updates to versions later than v1.5.0, we recommend setting "Minor fixes only" under Settings → Software Updates → Receive updates of.
- We are working diligently to provide an updated UnrealEngine SDK that supports the new protocol as soon as possible. Additionally, the new communication protocol will be available for use outside the SDK as well. Further details will be provided in due course.
