Item The Giant Experience: Visual Transfer Design to Virtually Extend the User's Body(The Eurographics Association, 2014) Furukawa, Masahiro; Ando, Hideyuki; Maeda, Taro; Yuki Hashimoto and Torsten Kuhlen and Ferran Argelaguet and Takayuki Hoshi and Marc Erich LatoschikLarge-scale tasks in the field, such as site investigation or civil engineering projects, require workers to have a certain level of situational awareness. However, the coverage area is too broad to investigate at once in real time because the scale of the human body is small in comparison with the size of the domain being studied. We propose the concept of experience from the perspective of a giant to virtually extend operator body size. In this study, we focus on design requirements for binocular vision, which requires a much wider pupillary distance in proportion to a much higher point of view altitude; this allows users to perceive their own bodies as being virtually enlarged.
