Some people could say that VR is only a stage where players perform. Such performance requires a multitude of gestures to express emotions as in a real stage.
Player interaction is one of the most important things in VR. We can see how this is implemented in multiplayer RPG games where people make communities and characters, games such as World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV. A common feature in such games is to have a gesture system which helps you immerse into the role playing experience.
This however poses a technical challenge: not all player avatars are made the same, and it is a bit too much to ask for everyone to make their own gesture scripts, so there should be some standards in creations of avatars so that common gestures can be easily applied to most used character types.
The most important gestures that should not be forgotten:
Sit
Wave
Hug
Sleep
Players will come for the attractions, but they will stay for the community.
