Hand Redirection (HR) techniques have been widely studied in virtual reality (VR) to accommodate the hand position relative to the user’s real hand. While such HR can be applied in a VR since the real hand does not appear to the user, in augmented reality (AR), the user’s real hand is visible alongside the virtual hand, which might reduce the HR illusion using the VR technique. To this challenge, we conducted two exploratory experiments to evaluate whether VR-based HR techniques can be applied in AR without disrupting user performance or whether there are different elements to be used before the HR in AR. Results indicate minimal impact on behavior, supporting HR’s potential as lightweight pseudo-haptic feedback in AR. Our results provided the potential to apply HR in the AR environment.
