Analysis of Detection Thresholds for Hand Redirection during Mid-Air Interactions in Virtual Reality
summary
Paper measures how much virtual hands can be decelerated before users notice, using Oculus Quest 2 hand tracking and a staircase psychophysical method across 20 participants and 480 trials. Detection thresholds span 0.727–0.552 gain (higher sensitivity for inward/upward/forward movements), with no handedness effect and SDs 0.119–0.167. Authors implement the gains in a playful bubble game for six users and report one clear notice, one vague report, and four unaware players.
