A Quick Review of Human Perception in Immersive Media

Abstract

With the development of multimedia and information technology, immersive media has been increasingly popular and attracted great attention. The concept of immersive media includes Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), 3D content, etc., which aims to provide or introduce immersive experience to the real-word through influencing human perception. Accordingly, recent years have witnessed an explosion of the literature on human perception in immersive media, including visual perception, auditory perception, etc. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art works on studying human perception in immersive media and discuss corresponding applications. First, this paper reviews the perception attention studies of immersive media from the aspects of visual attention and multi-modal attention. Second, we survey the subjective and objective perceptual quality studies of immersive media including both visual quality assessment and multi-modal quality assesment. Finally, we overview the human perception properties in immersive media and outlook the future trends.
