How does the virtual representation of the user's hands influence the performance on a button selection task performed in a tablet-based interaction within an immersive virtual environment? To answer this question, we asked 55 participants to use three conditions: no-hand avatar, realistic avatar and translucent avatar. The participants were faster but made slightly more errors while using the no-avatar condition, and considered easier to perform the task with the translucent avatar.
