> Apple solved the hand tracking UI problem

"Solved" is doing some heavy lifting there. From what I hear, misclicks abound and trying to delete text using the on screen keyboard is extremely broken because none of the ux designers realized that humans tend to look at what's being deleted instead of the delete key.

The text you’re editing appears above the keyboard and if you’re looking at that text it operates as a backspace button. It’s more intuitive than it sounds since you’ll naturally glance at it whilst backspacing.

Misclicks happen quite a bit when manipulating objects with your hands. Like a cup or a vape or eating skittles. A layer of “is this hand occupied?” For the click detection would probably fix this and I’d be surprised if they don’t already have something and it’s just not released.
