Can Virtual Human Entourage Elements Facilitate Accurate Distance Judgments in VR?

摘要

Entourage elements are widely used in architectural renderings to provide a sense of scale and bring the drawings to life. We explore the potential of using a photorealistic, three-dimensional, exact-scale model of a known person as an entourage element to ameliorate the classical problem of distance underestimation in immersive virtual environments, for the purposes of enhancing spatial perception accuracy during architectural design reviews.
