“…Despite the challenges in comparing the relevant literature, some key findings do seem, at least tentatively, to emerge from previous work, and we aimed to build on them in this study. Several previous studies have concluded that 1PP is the preferred choice of users in most scenarios [1,25,33]. However, these studies are largely reliant on qualitative user feedback rather than quantitative performance metrics, and user preference does not always align with user performance measures.…”

“…No comparisons were made between the blinded view and the 3PP conditions. Kosch et al [33] created a system which automatically determined the optimal position of the camera above a user to generate a 3PP view. This was similar to the set up in Salamin et al [46], in which the camera was attached behind the user.…”

Users are increasingly able to move around and perform tasks in virtual environments (VEs). Such movements and tasks are typically represented in a VE using either a first-person perspective (1PP) or a third-person perspective (3PP). In Virtual Reality (VR), 1PP is almost universally used. 3PP can be represented as either egocentric or allocentric. However, there is little empirical evidence about which view may be better suited to dynamic tasks in particular. This paper compares the use of 1PP, egocentric 3PP and allocentric 3PP for dynamic tasks in VR. Our results indicate that 1PP provides the best spatial perception and performance across several dynamic tasks. This advantage is less pronounced as the task becomes more dynamic.
