Abstract
A method is provided, including the following operations: receiving, from a controller device, controller input that identifies postures of at least two fingers of the user's hand; determining a similarity of the controller input to a predefined target input; rendering in a virtual space a virtual hand that corresponds to the controller device, wherein when the similarity exceeds a predefined threshold, then, in response the virtual hand is animated so that a pose of the virtual hand transitions to a predefined hand pose, such that postures of fingers of the virtual hand transition to predefined finger postures of the predefined hand pose, and wherein when the similarity does not exceed the predefined threshold, then the virtual hand is rendered so that the pose of the virtual hand dynamically changes in response to changes in the controller input.
