Use cursor mode when an accurate and responsive tracking of a single point is required (e.g., controlling a UI). Use the full-hand tracking mode when you need to access to specific skeletal information. Use the extremities tracking mode when you only need to access the entire hand location. The extremities mode conserves resources such as CPU, power, computation threads and memory.
The following types of data are available only when in full-hand tracking mode:
• Joint information
• Finger data
• Hand side
• Openness
• Gestures
