Effect of measurement setting in judging traveled distance: additional evidence for underestimation of distance in virtual environments

We conducted an experiment to examine the effects of scene density and richness on people's estimates of traveled distance. Participants wearing HMDs first experienced vision-only simulated self-motion over the distance of 65 meters in either a feature-...

We conducted two experiments that compared distance perception in real and virtual environments in six visual presentation methods using either timed imagined walking or direct blindfolded walking, while controlling for several other factors that could ...

The ability to accurately estimate distance is an essential component of navigating large-scale spaces. Although the factors that influence distance estimation have been a topic of research in real-world environments for decades and are well known, ...
