“…The potential depth cues influencing design decisions and depth perception are still not well comprehended. Cidota et al [51] studied the visual influence on the depth perception rendered in VR and AR environments. The conclusion of this work affirmed previous studies results and emphasises that visual fade and blur induce degradation of depth perception in both environments (Table 2).…”

Virtual Reality (VR) Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) are on the verge of becoming commodity hardware available to the average user and feasible to use as a tool for 3D work. Some HMDs include front-facing cameras, enabling Augmented Reality (AR) functionality. Apart from avoiding collisions with the environment, interaction with virtual objects may also be affected by seeing the real environment. However, whether these effects are positive or negative has not yet been studied extensively. For most tasks it is unknown whether AR has any advantage over VR. In this work we present the results of a user study in which we compared user performance measured in task completion time on a 9 degrees of freedom object selection and transformation task performed either in AR or VR, both with a 3D input device and a mouse. Our results show faster task completion time in AR over VR. When using a 3D input device, a purely VR environment increased task completion time by 22.5 percent on average compared to AR ( ). Surprisingly, a similar effect occurred when using a mouse: users were about 17.3 percent slower in VR than in AR ( ). Mouse and 3D input device produced similar task completion times in each condition (AR or VR) respectively. We further found no differences in reported comfort.

“…Researchers in spatial perception in VR noted that users generally underestimate distances in virtual environments [1]. Improving users' spatial perception in a virtual environment affects various VR applications, including architectural design [7], construction practices [8], and serious games that assess motion disorders [9].…”

“…Researchers have been investigating approaches to improve spatial perception in VR, such as depth cues [10], visual effects applied to 3D content [9], haptic feedback [11], freedom of movement [12], visual and audio cues [13], and virtual environment setup [6,14]. These approaches are interventions focusing on user interactions with VR applications.…”

Researchers have been investigating ways to improve users’ spatial perception in virtual environments. Very limited studies have focused on the context of virtual reality (VR) games. Tutorials with practices, a common element in games, are good opportunities to implement measures that improve players’ spatial perception. Using an experiment, this paper investigates how two types of practices (real-world and virtual-world practices) influence players’ spatial perception, game performance, and immersion in VR games. Given that spatial perception is viewed as an essential aspect of VR applications, the moderating role of spatial perception on the effect of practices in game performance is also explored. The results demonstrate that virtual-world practice is effective in improving players’ spatial perception of the virtual environment of VR games. Real-world practice is suggested to be effective in enhancing spatial perception when it is averaged over multiple sessions. The results also suggest that spatial perception moderates the effects of practices on game performance. The results imply that practices in game tutorial can be a transitional environment for new players to enter a VR game.
