• The perception of egocentric distances in virtual environments - A review (2013, methodology): “Another often used action is triangulated walking [e.g., Loomis and Knapp 2003; R´ebillat et al. 2011; Richardson and Waller 2007; Thompson et al. 2004; Willemsen et al. 2009]; only rarely applied is blind throwing [Ragan et al. 2012; Sahm et al. 2005].”
• Distance Perception in Immersive Virtual Environments, Revisited (2006, background): “The combined results of our present and previous experiments elaborate upon the findings reported by Thompson et al. [2004] to enable a more nuanced understanding of the impact of rendering style on the accuracy of participants' distance judgments in a presented virtual environment.”
• Representing 3D Space in Working Memory: Spatial Images from Vision, Hearing, Touch, and Language (2013, background): “…include walking to the location of the updated target (e.g., Loomis et al. 1992 ; Philbeck and Loomis 1997 ; Rieser et al. 1990 ; Thomson 1983 ; Thompson et al. 2004 ) , pointing toward it (e.g., Fukusima et al. 1997 ; Loomis et al. 1992 ; Riecke et al. 2005 ; Siegle et al. 2009 ) ,…”
