“…Virtual environments have also been used as a tool for training new skills, particularly in cases where training in the real environment can be risky or dangerous. For example, immersive virtual environments have been used for training fire fighters, medical doctors, and military personnel (e.g., Johnson & Stewart, 1999). Two questions that arise when using virtual environments for such research and training purposes are: 1) How well does perception in virtual environments correspond to perception in the real environment?…”

“…Merritt and CuQlock-Knopp (1991) found that the use of stereo video improved participant's reported sensitivity to monocular cues of terrain hazards during off-road driving. However, Johnson and Stewart II (1999) found no benefits of 3D helmet mounted displays on the acquisition of spatial knowledge compared to a stationary wide screen display.…”

“…In IVE these criteria are usually defined by the screen size and characteristics of the HMD used. Studies of this feature (Johnson and Stewart 1999;Bracken et al 2010) indicate that wider fields of view facilitate the experience of spatial presence.…”

Virtual reality (VR) is a frequently emphasized issue on the Digital Earth (DE) agenda. While current DE research is more engaged in the technical aspects of VR applications, this paper focuses on what is possible with immersive virtual environments (IVE) from the user's perspective. After a brief discussion of spatial presence and embodiment in the context of IVE, both concepts will be merged into a geovisualization immersion pipeline (GIP) as a framework with which to systematically link technical and cognitive aspects of IVE. We will then analyze the general criteria that must be met by IVE in order to facilitate the experience of spatial presence. Adapting these criteria to the special requirements of geospatial data, a definition of geovisualization immersive virtual environments (GeoIVE) is formulated. Finally, the theoretical considerations of this paper are set into practice, using a GeoIVE of a coral reef ecosystem as an example. As we shall see, while GIS do not provide data models or data compatibility for direct visualization of GeoIVE on VR output devices, game engines can serve as middleware to fill this gap.
