The use of immersive virtual reality as a research tool is rapidly increasing in numerous scientific disciplines. By combining ecological validity with strict experimental control, immersive virtual reality provides the potential to develop and test scientific theories in rich environments that closely resemble everyday settings. This article introduces the first standardized database of colored three-dimensional (3-D) objects that can be used in virtual reality and augmented reality research and applications. The 147 objects have been normed for name agreement, image agreement, familiarity, visual complexity, and corresponding lexical characteristics of the modal object names. The availability of standardized 3-D objects for virtual reality research is important, because reaching valid theoretical conclusions hinges critically on the use of well-controlled experimental stimuli. Sharing standardized 3-D objects across different virtual reality labs will allow for science to move forward more quickly.
沉浸式虚拟现实作为一种研究工具，在众多科学学科中的应用正在迅速增加。通过将生态有效性与严格的实验控制相结合，沉浸式虚拟现实提供了在与日常生活环境非常相似的丰富环境中开发和测试科学理论的潜力。本文介绍了第一个可用于虚拟现实和增强现实研究和应用的标准化彩色三维（3-D）物体数据库。这 147 个物体已经针对名称一致性、图像一致性、熟悉度、视觉复杂性以及模态对象名称的相应词汇特征进行了标准化。虚拟现实研究中使用标准化的 3-D 物体非常重要，因为得出有效的理论结论关键取决于使用经过良好控制的实验刺激。在不同的虚拟现实实验室之间共享标准化的 3-D 物体将使科学能够更快地向前发展。
