Abstract

Accurate and usable x-ray vision is a significant goal in augmented reality (AR) development. X-ray vision, or the ability to comprehend location and object information when it is presented through an opaque barrier, needs to successfully convey scene information to be a viable use case for AR. Further, this investigation should be performed in an ecologically valid context in order to best test x-ray vision. This research seeks to experimentally evaluate the perceived object location of stimuli presented with x-ray vision, as compared to real-world perceived object location through a window, at action space distances of 1.5 to 15 meters.
