Hey all!  
I am using magic leap MRTK xr rig for my projects.  
I have need to get as much data as possible regarding the hands and head of the user. e.g. position & rotation of different joints. What is the best way to gain access to this data?  
**Unity Editor version** : 2022.3.16f1  
**ML2 OS version** :1.9.0  
**Unity SDK version** : 1.12.1  
**Host OS** : Windows

Regards,  
Gal.

You can access the hand joint information directly via the XR Hands package.  
[https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.hands@1.5/manual/hand-data/xr-hand-access-data.html](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.hands@1.5/manual/hand-data/xr-hand-access-data.html)

For the Head, you can use the Main Camera or `OpenXRHmd` input bindings:
