Distance Estimation in Virtual Reality: The Effects of Overview Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peoples’ perception of distance is inaccurate in both real and virtual environments; here, we focus on identifying ways in which these estimations can be improved in Virtual Reality. In this study, overview maps are investigated as an aid to distance estimation, used within the context of a virtual environment for the Sorbas region in S.E. Spain.
