Some the key features of Oculus Touch:

- Hand presence: "Once you have your hands involved, you really need tracking to be perfect or you're going to feel like your hands are dead."
- Precise manipulation: "You need to be able to pick up a gun from a table and then fire it, throw it, or drop it, effortlessly."
- Low mental load: "Something that would let you use these controllers effortlessly."
- Communicatie gestures: a matrix of sensors will allow Rift to recognise gestures like pointing and giving a thumbs up.
- Traditional inputs: "Buttons and analog sticks are still around for a reason. Those types of inputs are not going anywhere," said Lucky. Oculus Touch will have two trigger buttons and give haptic feedback.
- Design: there are two controllers, one for each hand, and the tracking technology used is exactly the same as that used in the Rift itself.
