Recent Advance in Virtual reality (VR) technology
Abstract
In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technology has been increasingly applied to education and training systems. Our research group has also been involved in the development of education and training systems in various fields. In the process, we observed a large discrepancy between the results of experiments conducted in a physical environment and those conducted in a virtual environment. After analyzing the cause of this discrepancy, we found that the size of objects in the virtual environment may not be correctly perceived when using a binocular parallax VR system. Although there have been many studies on size perception in virtual environments, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Our research group is working to elucidate these mechanisms by examining the relationship between gaze measurement and size perception.
