XR Interaction Toolkit (XRI) & XR Hands

Allows you to create XR experiences supported by both controllers and hand tracking. It is not specific to hands like our own plugin, but provides a good base for common interactions.

Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK3)
OpenXR/LeapC

Ideal for: Advanced UI interaction needs

MRTK3 is a robust XR framework for advanced UI needs. It builds on top of Unity's XRI, and adds a lot of affordances for hand tracking. MRTK is an extensive system that may take a bit more time to learn.
