Abstract
In this study, interpersonal distances were measured in a real environment (RE) and an immersive virtual environment (VE) under each audiovisual condition (bimodal (V-A), visual-only (V/o), and auditory-only (A/o)), in order to design interpersonal services in a VEs and experiments in a VEs that are usually difficult to set up in REs. The experiment revealed the interpersonal distances in the VE that can be converted to the RE and the audiovisual conditions that cause them.

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), ...
