The paper runs two experiments on whether changing how a hand looks in VR affects tremor.
Hand tracking: In the first experiment, a consumer-level hand-tracking system substantially reduced tremor-band movement, and people still completed the task.
Patients: The second experiment involved eight patients with essential tremor. Several showed lower tremor-band activity in both hand kinematics and muscle oscillations during VR, particularly in reaching tasks, with differences depending on the task.
Status: The authors call this an initial step toward validating VR as a research and treatment tool. The paper is 12 pages and still under revision.
