A method includes displaying an artificial reality environment to a user, determining a context in which the user is interacting with the artificial reality environment, and determining, based on the context, that the user intends to use a hand gesture to interact with a target virtual object within the artificial reality environment. The method further includes monitoring, while the user is attempting to interact with the target virtual object, motional patterns of the hand gesture performed by the user with respect to the target virtual object, and generating a motion-stabilization profile associated with the user based on the motional patterns. The motion-stabilization profile is configured to be utilized to stabilize the hand gesture performed by the user during subsequent user interactions within the artificial reality environment.
