【Abstract】
Virtual reality (VR) with HMD is closed experience among those who are experiencing the VR, and can only be individually experienced by the specific person. We call this “perspective gap.” These perspective gaps exist in many situations. To address these problems, we present “ReverseCAVE”, a system for sharing the experiences of people in VR with others (observer). As another application, it is possible to visually recognize the actual appearance of the person performing the act at the motion capture studio and the superimposed character at the same time. ReverseCAVE has four translucent screens surrounding the player. VR environment that the player is experiencing is projected onto the screens. By this, the observer can see both the physical player and the VR environment experienced by the player simultaneously. Also, in the motion capture system, when viewing the actor from the observer outside of ReverseCAVE, the character is superimposed to the actor. This makes it look as if the actor is the actual character from the observer. ReverseCAVE enhances the observers’ experience.

experienced by the VR player. Conditions With ReverseCAVE / Without ReverseCAVE Participants 8 participants (19-23 years old) Procedure 1) Observe the VR player for 30 seconds under each condition using 2 VR games. 2) Describe what the VR player is doing.

Preliminary Experiment II Purpose To investigate the influence of the observer tracking on the ability to understand the situation. Conditions With tracking / Without tracking Participants 8 participants (19-23 years old) Procedure 1) Observe the VR player for 30 seconds under each condition. 2) Answer 5-point Likert scale styled questionnaires related to understanding.

(1: did not understand at all, 5: completely understood) There is NO significant difference. with Tracking without Tracking 3.50 2.63 M 0.87 0.86 SD 1 2 3 4 5

18. Copyright ReverseCAVE team, jiseCHI, INNOLAB, University of Tsukuba. Result How immersive was the experience? (1: non-immersive, 5: high immersive) There is a significant difference. with Tracking without Tracking 3.50 2.63 M 0.87 0.86 SD 1 2 3 4 5 p < 0.05
19. Copyright ReverseCAVE team, jiseCHI, INNOLAB, University of Tsukuba. Result • With tracking, the participants felt higher immersive sense. • But, the observer tracking did not relate to
the understanding of the VR situation. Multiple people can see ReverseCAVE simultaneously and understand what is happening.
