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 looking at a target person standing between 20 and 120 ft away. The real environment was a large grassy lawn in front of a university building. We replicated this scene in our virtual environment using a nonstereoscopic, large-screen immersive display system. We found that people underestimated time to walk in both environments for distances of 40 to 60 ft and beyond. However, time-to-walk estimates were virtually identical across the two environments, particularly when people made real environment estimates first. In Experiment 2, 10- and 12-year-old children and adults estimated time to walk in real and virtual environments both with and without vision. Adults underestimated time to walk in both environments for distances of 60 to 80 ft and beyond. Again, their estimates were virtually identical in the real and virtual environment both with and without vision. Twelve-year-olds' time-to-walk estimates were also very similar across the two environments under both viewing conditions, but 10-year-olds exhibited greater underestimation in the virtual than in the real environment. A third experiment showed that adults' time-to-walk estimates were virtually identical to walking without vision. We conclude that distance perception may be better in virtual environments involving large-screen immersive displays than in those involving head-mounted displays (HMDS).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/1077399.1077402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,7]],"date-time":"2005-11-07T16:00:45Z","timestamp":1131379245000},"page":"216-233","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":144,"title":["Distance perception in real and virtual environments"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Jodie M.","family":"Plumert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph K.","family":"Kearney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James F.","family":"Cremer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kara","family":"Recker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1068\/p5144"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5555\/271932.271939"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-295X.102.4.627"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0166-4328(89)80088-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0885-2014(89)90011-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0061505"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0046363"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1st Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization, August 7--8","author":"Interrante V."},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1162\/1054746042545238"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","first-page":"557","article-title":"Immersive virtual environment technology as a basic research tool in psychology.
