\subsection{Push Task}
\label{push}
\paragraph{Completion Time}
On the time to complete a trial,
a \LMM \ANOVA with by-participant random intercepts indicated two statistically significant effects:
\factor{Hand} (\anova{5}{3385}{5.5}, \pinf{0.001}, see \figref{results/Push-CompletionTime})
and \factor{Target} (\anova{7}{3385}{22.9}, \pinf{0.001}).
\level{Skeleton} was the fastest, more than \level{None} (\percent{+18}, \p{0.005}), \level{Occlusion} (\percent{+26}, \pinf{0.001}), \level{Tips} (\percent{+22}, \pinf{0.001}), and \level{Contour} (\percent{+20}, \p{0.001}).
Three groups of targets volumes were identified:
(1) sides \level{R}, \level{L}, and \level{LF} targets were the fastest;
(2) back and front \level{RB}, \level{F}, and \level{RF} were slower (\p{0.003});
and (3) back \level{B} and \level{LB} targets were the slowest (\p{0.04}).
\paragraph{Contacts}
On the number of contacts,
a \LMM \ANOVA with by-participant random intercepts indicated two statistically significant effects:
\factor{Hand} (\anova{5}{3385}{6.2}, \pinf{0.001}, see \figref{results/Push-ContactsCount})
and \factor{Target} (\anova{7}{3385}{25.6}, \pinf{0.001}).
Fewer contacts were made with \level{Skeleton} than with \level{None} (\percent{-23}, \pinf{0.001}), \level{Occlusion} (\percent{-26}, \pinf{0.001}), \level{Tips} (\percent{-18}, \p{0.004}), and \level{Contour} (\percent{-15}, \p{0.02});
and less with \level{Mesh} than with \level{Occlusion} (\percent{-14}, \p{0.04}).
This indicates how effective a visual hand augmentation is: a lower result indicates a smoother ability to push and rotate properly the cube into the target, as one would probably do with a real cube.
Targets on the left (\level{L}, \level{LF}) and the right (\level{R}) were easier to reach than the back ones (\level{B}, \level{LB}, \pinf{0.001}).
\paragraph{Time per Contact}
On the mean time spent on each contact,
a \LMM \ANOVA with by-participant random intercepts indicated two statistically significant effects:
\factor{Hand} (\anova{5}{3385}{7.7}, \pinf{0.001}, see \figref{results/Push-MeanContactTime})
and \factor{Target} (\anova{7}{3385}{17.9}, \pinf{0.001}).
It was shorter with \level{None} than with \level{Skeleton} (\percent{-10}, \pinf{0.001}) and \level{Mesh} (\percent{-8}, \p{0.03});
and shorter with \level{Occlusion} than with \level{Tips} (\percent{-10}, \p{0.002}), \level{Contour} (\percent{-10}, \p{0.001}), \level{Skeleton} (\percent{-14}, \p{0.001}), and \level{Mesh} (\percent{-12}, \p{0.03}).
This result suggests that users pushed the virtual cube with more confidence with a visible visual hand augmentation.
On the contrary, the lack of visual hand constrained the participants to give more attention to the cube's reactions.
Targets on the left (\level{L}, \level{LF}) and the right (\level{R}) sides had higher \response{Timer per Contact} than all the other targets (\p{0.005}).
