Comparisons of Tasks in First and Third Person Views using Video See-through HMD

Abstract

It is common to display first person view on HMD, which is used for virtual reality and augmented reality. On the other hand, video games use many views not only first person view but also several third person views and these views are already quite common for changing between different views in video games. We need to clarify user operations in various views for future free-viewpoint systems using HMDs. In this study, we performed experiments in three different views and measured the operating times of two tasks using video see-through head mounted display (HMD) for each.
