Given that the cognitive load is related to gaze movements, our study focuses on analyzing the gaze movements of participants across opaque, transparent, and invisible hand visualizations in order to create a new interaction technique. For our experimental setup, we used a Purdue Pegboard Test with reaching, grasping, transporting, and inserting subtasks. We examined how long and where participants concentrated on these subtasks and, using the findings, introduced a new virtual hand visualization method to increase accuracy. We hope that our results can be used in future virtual reality applications where users have to interact with virtual objects accurately. © 2024 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHuman-centered computingHuman-centered computingVisualizationVisualizationVisualization design and evaluation methodsVisualization techniquesConference Object61110.1109/VRW62533.2024.000082-s2.0-85195555902N/AN/A
