Space Perception and Cues to Distance in Virtual Reality

摘要

Distance is systematically underperceived in virtual reality (VR) using head mounted displays (HMDs) [Loomis and Knapp 2003], even with photorealistic environments [Thompson et al. in press]. We investigated whether a direct video signal can produce an accurate perception of space in an HMD, and whether distance perception in VR recapitulates classical findings in the real world.
