I presume the guard if for people not to swing them around and hit their friends in the face right?

Its a proximity sensor for tracking hands, gesture and fingers. Like more modern VR controllers on the Oculus Rift and Vive.

Open your hand up and it shows in-game. point your finger, grab something etc etc.

Wouldn't you need a hand strap in order to open your hand without dropping the controller like you can do with the Valve Index controllers? Without one I suppose you can do gestures to a certain degree.

Controllers are important for a fully interactive and free roaming VR, and Oculus, Sony and many others are doing their best to better them. Sadly no controller with the right functions at the right price arrived in time to become 9th gen standard equipment, but there are quickly increasing probabilities for VR to finally really become mainstream in 10th gen. PC will be able to achieve it some time before, but SW support will really take off when consoles will be ready too.
