In this work, we propose two algorithms that can be applied in the context of a networked virtual environment to efficiently handle the interpolation of displacement data for hand-based VR HMDs. Our algorithms, based on the use of dual-quaternions and multivectors respectively, impact the network consumption rate and are highly effective in scenarios involving multiple users. We illustrate convincing results in a modern game engine and a medical VR collaborative training scenario.
