This work explored how users' sensitivity to offsets in their avatars' virtual hands changes as they gain exposure to virtual reality. We conducted an experiment using a two-alternative forced choice (2-AFC) design over the course of 4 weeks, split into four sessions. The trials in each session had a variety of eight offset distances paired with eight offset directions (across a two-dimensional plane). While we did not find evidence that users became more sensitive to the offsets over time, we did find evidence of behavioral changes. Specifically, participants' head-hand coordination and completion time varied significantly as the sessions went on. We discuss the implications of both results and how they could influence our understanding of long-term calibration for perception-action coordination in virtual environments.
