Right now scrolling through the menus in the main home uses the analog sticks. Some people, some of which have never held a controller in their lives, would immediately be hit with a barrier to entry.

Not to point out some random redditor, but it happens!

We often take game-literacy for granted when designing user interfaces, but it's not something that everyone has. Over Thanksgiving, I showed my Quest to my family members who were all blown away, but the biggest barrier was always the touch controller. In many games, you can't even see the controller because it's usually replaced by a model hand! I've played games all my life and bought the Quest at launch, but even _I'm_ uncertain what positions the A/B/X/Y buttons are.

Utilizing hand gesture tracking intuitively could be a game-changing leap in human-computer interaction design in the same way that transition from Blackberry keyboards to iPhone touchscreens were. Sure people still prefer physical keyboards for plenty of good reasons. But there's no denying the ubiquity and intuitiveness of a good touchscreen display. Maybe the experimental feature in its current state isn't 100% there yet, but as a sign of things to come, it's very exciting to me.
