This study evaluated the effect of virtual hand representation on the typingperformance, upper extremity angle, neck muscle activity, and usability duringvirtual reality (VR) typing. A total of 15 participants (7 females and 8 males)performed a typing task with and without virtual hand representations. Theoptical motion capture data was utilized to capture the upper extremity angles,and electromyography device was used to collect the neck muscle activities(left and right splenius capitis). The results showed that the typingperformance, upper extremity angle, neck muscle activity, and usability weresignificantly different with and without virtual hand representations. With thevirtual hand representation, net typing speed (WPM) and usability increasedsignificantly by 171.4% and 25% compared to the without hand representation.Without the virtual hand representation, participants showed increased wristextension, and decreased right shoulder abduction angles. The variability ofthe neck rotation was increased while typing without the virtual handrepresentation. The neck muscle activities were increased with the virtual handrepresentation. The results suggest that typing with the virtual handrepresentation could positively affect the typing performance and usability andreduce the risk of the musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremity. Futurestudy could explore the effect of the virtual hand representation for userswith varying levels of typing skills.
