Journal ArticleDOI
Immersive Virtual Environment Technology as a Methodological Tool for Social Psychology
Jim Blascovich,Jack M. Loomis,Andrew C. Beall,Kimberly R. Swinth,Crystal L. Hoyt,Jeremy N. Bailenson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, immersive virtual environment technology (IVET) can help ameliorate, if not solve, these methodological problems and thus holds promise as a new social psychological research tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interpersonal Distance in Immersive Virtual Environments
TL;DR: Results indicated that participants maintained greater distance from virtual humans when approaching their fronts compared to their backs, and gave more personal space to virtual agents who engaged them in mutual gaze.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonvisual navigation by blind and sighted: assessment of path integration ability
Jack M. Loomis,Roberta L. Klatzky,Reginald G. Golledge,Joseph G. Cicinelli,James W. Pellegrino,Phyllis A. Fry +5 more
TL;DR: Results provide little indication that spatial competence strongly depends on prior visual experience, and do not support the hypothesis that only a representation of the origin of locomotion is maintained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immersive virtual environment technology as a basic research tool in psychology.
TL;DR: A discussion of the various devices needed to implement immersive virtual environments, including object manipulation and social interaction, and the benefits and drawbacks associated with virtual environment technology in comparison with more conventional ways of doing basic experimental research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual space perception and visually directed action.
TL;DR: The results of two types of experiments are reported in this article, showing that the distortion in the mapping from physical to visual space evident in the visual matching task does not manifest itself in the visually open-loop motoric tasks.
