Comparison between Stereoscopic Sensation in Virtual Space and that in Real one

Abstract

We have examined the difference of distances in virtual and real spaces by comparing the distance from the eye position to the virtual and real objects. As the result of the experiment, it was found that we tend to recognize an object further than the real distance when we see the object which is nearer to the eye position and vice versa. Next, we have measured the real distance from the eye position to a virtual object without comparing real and virtual objects. As a result, it was found that we tend to recognize objects further than the real distance and its feature is remarkable when we see objects which are nearer to the eye position.
