Abstract
Over the last 20 years research has been done on the question of how egocentric distances, i.e., the subjectively reported distance from a human observer to an object, are perceived in virtual environments. This review surveys the existing literature on empirical user studies on this topic. In summary, there is a mean estimation of egocentric distances in virtual environments of about 74% of the modeled distances. Many factors possibly influencing distance estimates were reported in the literature. We arranged these factors into four groups, namely measurement methods, technical factors, compositional factors, and human factors. The research on these factors is summarized, conclusions are drawn, and promising areas for future research are outlined.

Distance perception in real and virtual environments
We conducted three experiments to compare distance perception in real and virtual environments. In Experiment 1, adults estimated how long it would take to walk to targets in real and virtual environments by starting and stopping a stopwatch while ...
Distance perception in real and virtual environments
APGV '04: Proceedings of the 1st Symposium on Applied perception in graphics and visualizationTwo experiments were conducted to compare distance perception in real and virtual environments.

Egocentric distance perception in real and HMD-based virtual environments: the effect of limited scanning method
APGV '11: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and VisualizationWe conducted four experiments on egocentric depth perception using blind walking with a restricted scanning method in both the real and a virtual environment. Our viewing condition in all experiments was monocular. We varied the field of view (real), ...
