Abstract:
This paper presents depth perception for virtual objects displayed with an optical see-through type head-mounted display (HMD) when there is a real object in front of it. In the real world, we cannot see the object behind another object. However, in augmented reality using an optical see-through type HMD, it is seen overlapping the object in front of it. We researched depth perception for a virtual object for this case. Perception of the depth of a virtual object in such a situation is very important to enable development of a technique of interaction with a virtual object. From the subjective test performed, we found that human vision could perceive the depth of a virtual object for the above case although there were significant differences between individuals, especially in short distances from the user.
