Abstract

Understanding spatial perception is crucial in virtual environments since it influences navigation abilities. To better understand how human characteristics combined with immersion levels influence exocentric distance estimation, this study was conducted. We have implemented a virtual environment for the desktop display and the Gear VR head-mounted display, in which we assessed these skills of 229 university students. 157 used the former, while 72 used the latter display device. The results show that human characteristics combined with the two display devices as well as a virtual scale have significant effects on exocentric distance estimation. The findings can help the development of more accessible virtual environments in the future.
