The VR displays used in Experiment 1. (a) In the discontinuous-texture condition, a grass-textured field and a cobblestone-textured field covered the flat ground surface. (b) In the homogeneous-texture condition, a continuous grass-textured field covered the flat ground surface. (c) An illustration (side view) of the general layout for measuring the judged target distance in the discontinuous-texture condition. The observer stood on the grass-textured field to view the test-target on the cobblestone-textured field. The texture boundary between the two textured-fields was always set halfway in between the observer and the test-target. To respond to the perceived distance, the observer turned around by 180° to view the grass-textured field and performed a distance-matching task.
