Fish Tank Virtual Reality (FTVR) displays create a compelling 3D spatial effect by rendering to the perspective of the viewer with head-tracking. Combining FTVR with a spherical display enhances the 3D experience with unique properties of the spherical screen such as the enclosing shape, consistent curved surface, and borderless views from all angles around the display. The ability to generate a strong 3D effect on a spherical display with head-tracked rendering is promising for increasing user's performance in 3D tasks. An unanswered question is whether these natural affordances of spherical FTVR displays can improve spatial perception in comparison to traditional flat FTVR displays. To investigate this question, we conducted an experiment to see whether users can perceive the depth and size of virtual objects better on a spherical FTVR display compared to a flat FTVR display on two tasks. Using the spherical display, we found significantly that users had 1cm depth accuracy compared to 6.5cm accuracy using the flat display on a depth-ranking task. Likewise, their performance on a size-matching task was also significantly better with the size error of 2.3mm on the spherical display compared to 3.1mm on the flat display. Furthermore, the perception of size-constancy is stronger on the spherical display than the flat display. This study indicates that the natural affordances provided by the spherical form factor improve depth and size perception in 3D compared to a flat display. We believe that spherical FTVR displays have potential as a 3D virtual environment to provide better task performance for various 3D applications such as 3D designs, scientific visualizations, and virtual surgery.
鱼缸虚拟现实(FTVR)显示器通过使用头部跟踪技术渲染观看者的视角来创建引人入胜的 3D 空间效果。将 FTVR 与球形显示器相结合,可以通过球形屏幕的独特属性增强 3D 体验,例如封闭形状、一致的曲面以及从显示器周围各个角度无边框的视图。在球形显示器上使用头部跟踪渲染生成强烈 3D 效果的能力有望提高用户在 3D 任务中的表现。一个悬而未决的问题是,与传统的平面 FTVR 显示器相比,这些球形 FTVR 显示器的自然优势是否可以改善空间感知。为了研究这个问题,我们进行了一项实验,以确定在两个任务中,用户是否可以在球形 FTVR 显示器上比在平面 FTVR 显示器上更好地感知虚拟对象的深度和大小。使用球形显示器,我们发现,在深度排序任务中,与平面显示器的 6.5cm 精度相比,用户的深度精度达到了 1cm。同样,在尺寸匹配任务中,他们的表现也明显更好,在球形显示器上的尺寸误差为 2.3mm,而在平面显示器上的尺寸误差为 3.1mm。此外,在球形显示器上感知到的尺寸恒常性比在平面显示器上更强。这项研究表明,与平面显示器相比,球形形状因子提供的自然优势可以改善 3D 中的深度和大小感知。我们相信,球形 FTVR 显示器作为一种 3D 虚拟环境具有潜力,可以为各种 3D 应用程序(例如 3D 设计、科学可视化和虚拟手术)提供更好的任务性能。
