Mixed RealityHead-Mounted DisplaysHuman Computer InteractionSpatial Perception
The Vertical-Horizontal Illusion (VHI) biases perceived geometric proportions across visual displays. This study introduces the Square Recognition Test (SRT), a unified method to measure perceived squareness across devices. A within-subject study (N = 24) on PC, mobile, and AR HMDs shows a consistent bias toward slightly wider-than-tall rectangles (PSE ≈ 1.02-1.04), indicating device-invariant VHI effects.
