We systematically compare natural hand tracking and controller-based input across short and extended play sessions. Measures include task efficiency, error rates, workload, presence, enjoyment, and simulator sickness. Results indicate that hand tracking enhances perceived naturalness and social presence but can reduce precision in time-critical actions; longer sessions amplify fatigue effects for both methods. We provide recommendations for input selection and session design.
