ABSTRACT
There has been a substantial amount of research on two different but related problems: estimating distances of perceived objects ("how far away is that thing?") and estimating traveled distance ("how far did I just walk?"). For instance, Lappe et al [2007] recently examined a "leaky path integration" model to account for travel distance judgments in a virtual environment.

Effects of scene density and richness on traveled distance estimation in virtual environments
APGV '11: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and VisualizationWe conducted an experiment to examine the effects of scene density and richness on people's estimates of traveled distance. Participants wearing HMDs first experienced vision-only simulated self-motion over the distance of 65 meters in either a feature-...
How does presentation method and measurement protocol affect distance estimation in real and virtual environments?
We conducted two experiments that compared distance perception in real and virtual environments in six visual presentation methods using either timed imagined walking or direct blindfolded walking, while controlling for several other factors that could ...
Judging Perceived and Traversed Distance in Virtual Environments
The ability to accurately estimate distance is an essential component of navigating large-scale spaces. Although the factors that influence distance estimation have been a topic of research in real-world environments for decades and are well known, ...
