GOAL: Investigate how augmented self avatars affect near-field interactions
Description: We conceptualized, designed, and evaluated a hand tracking avatar application in AR. Using Unity 3D, MRTK and the Hololens 2, we conducted a study to compare and understand how users' perceptions and interactions are affected when provisioning them with a holographic hand avatar.
