In recent years, hand-tracking technologies had been implemented in Virtual Reality application, allowing users to use natural hand gesture for interaction within the environment. However, little efforts have been conducted in understanding user's preference when they use their hands to interact with the VR world. In this paper, the result of a guessability test for hand gestures in order to operate musical tasks to support music interaction within immersive Virtual Environment. A total number of 750 gestures have been elicited from 15 participants for 50 selected tasks, including 10 musical tasks. Our result enables a smaller size of gesture set to be elicited from the users. The implications of this work can be relevant in hand gesture design, gesture interaction, and gestural interfaces design for music interaction, all of which are highlighted in this study.
