Perceiving 3D from a 2D Mid-air Image
Saki Kominato, Miyu Fukuoka, Naoya Koizumi · 2024
In this study, we aim to quantify the sense of depth and perceived position in mid-air images.In the experiment, the participants were instructed to indicate the nearest frontal point and zenith of both mid-air images and actual spherical objects.The results suggest that the frontal surface of mid-air images is generally perceived on the image plane or behind it.However, when depth is recognized, it appears slightly less pronounced compared to actual objects.
