DexHOI2Sim helps you study how hands interact with objects. You can use this software to recreate movements in realistic digital environments. It works with standard physics engines like MuJoCo and IsaacGym to provide accurate data. Researchers and students use this tool to see how robots or virtual hands grip items. You evaluate the success of these grasps through detailed simulations.

💡 Common Questions
Does this software require an internet connection? You need an internet connection for the installation process to download additional physics libraries. After that, you can run the tool offline.
Can I load my own objects? Yes. You can place 3D files in the "assets" folder within the installation directory. Ensure the files use standard formats like OBJ or URDF.
Where can I find help? If the simulation stops responding, check the logs folder for error reports. You can also view the help documentation located in the main application directory.
