Abstract: In recent years, there has been a lot of research on how to achieve interaction between users and virtual objects using augmented reality. Interaction technologies in augmented reality need to enable users to handle virtual objects intuitively. In addition, since hands are the main means of interaction with objects in real life, it is also necessary to enable interaction operations with hands on virtual objects [1]. In order to make it possible to intuitively handle objects in virtual space using hands in real space, it is necessary to consider whether physical phenomena in real space and virtual space are correctly superimposed (physical consistency). In this study, we proposed a system that allows users to intuitively handle the deformation, movement, and merging of virtual objects in augmented reality. The system was then used by four university students to compare it with existing studies [2].
