“…However, many studies do not include such a real world comparison condition. Real world distance perception is often near 100% of actual distance, but this is not always the case (e.g., [24], [33], [91], [98]) and may depend on details of the environment and the research protocols. Researchers studying perceived distance in VR would therefore be wise to include real world controls when possible.…”

Distances are commonly underperceived in virtual reality (VR), and this finding has been documented repeatedly over more than two decades of research. Yet, there is evidence that perceived distance is more accurate in modern compared to older head-mounted displays (HMDs). This meta-analysis, based on 137 data points from 61 publications, describes egocentric distance perception across 20 HMDs and examines the relationship between perceived distance and technical HMD characteristics. Judged distance was positively associated with HMD field of view (FOV), positively associated with HMD resolution, and negatively associated with HMD weight. The effects of FOV and resolution were more pronounced among heavier HMDs. These findings suggest that future improvements in these technical characteristics may be central to resolving the problem of distance underperception in VR.

Distances are commonly underperceived in virtual reality (VR), and this finding has been documented repeatedly over more than two decades of research. Yet, there is evidence that perceived distance is more accurate in modern compared to older head-mounted displays (HMDs). This meta-analysis of 123 studies describes egocentric distance perception across numerous HMDs, and also examines the relationship between perceived distance and technical HMD characteristics. Judged distance was positively associated with HMD field of view (FOV) and negatively associated with HMD weight, although the relationship with weight was more pronounced among high FOV versus low FOV HMDs. Judged distance was also positively associated with pixel size, although this depended on HMD weight, with heavier HMDs showing a negative association and lighter HMDs showing a positive association. These findings suggest that future improvements in HMD FOV and weight may be central to resolving the problem of distance underperception in VR.

“…We also expected to see the issues of depth dealt with in more new techniques. It is not, even though depth perception is poor in VR and significantly impacts users' performance [44,63,64]. Consequently, a promising research direction is interaction techniques that minimize the drawbacks of poor depth perception in VR.…”

The VR community has introduced many object selection and manipulation techniques during the past two decades. Typically, they are empirically studied to establish their benefits over the stateof-the-art. However, the literature contains few guidelines on how to conduct such studies; standards developed for evaluating 2D interaction often do not apply. This lack of guidelines makes it hard to compare techniques across studies, to report evaluations consistently, and therefore to accumulate or replicate findings. To build such guidelines, we review 20 years of studies on VR object selection and manipulation. Based on the review, we propose recommendations for designing studies and a checklist for reporting them. We also identify research directions for improving evaluation methods and offer ideas for how to make studies more ecologically valid and rigorous.
