4. A computer games manufacturer

is producing a new game called
Presentation
Gulliver. In this game the players
and Q&A
IV travel through a virtual landscape in G1 to G7
session by
which are found various villages.
other students
Some of these villages are occupied
by Lilliputians, who are only 6
inches tall; some by ordinary
people; and some by
Brobdingnagians, who are giants.
The game uses a fully immersive
VR headset. You have been asked
to advise the game makers

(i) If the user ‘stands still’ in the

virtual environment, a Lilliputian
village that is very close, a normal
village some way off and a
Brobdingnagian village in the far
distance will all look the same
apparent size. What visual cues can
the designers use to enable a user to
distinguish them? (Say in your
answer if any cues are better at
distinguishing the miniature village
from the normal one, or the normal
one from the giant one.
