Identification of Out-of-View Objects in Virtual Reality

Current Virtual Reality (VR) devices have limited fields-of-view (FOV). A limited FOV amplifies the problem of objects receding from view. In previous work, different techniques have been proposed to visualize the position of objects out of view. However, these techniques do not allow to identify these objects. In this work, we compare three different ways of identifying out-of-view objects. Our user study shows that participants prefer to have the identification always visible.
