I've played a number or game that replaces your hand with the object you're using. Or hell, most of the time you see the vive controllers and not hands in place of your own.

>game that replaces your hand with the object

Yeah, this is the common practice.

But by "attaching eyeballs to your hand" i though he meant decoupling the camera from HMD tracking and attaching it to the controller tracking. Like you move your hand and the view changes. Something similar to The Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth [1].

Research shows[2,3], that brain adapts to the unusual perspective quite fast. So technically, after a while, the brain should accommodate and it would start feeling "natural".
