Differences in Perspective and Software Scaling

Published:08 August 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present a study comparing differences in visual scale due to perspective (distance) and software scaling. The software scaling method corrected for quantization of the input device and resolution to ensure equivalency in the scaling methods. Results indicate that while perspective yields consistent performance across different scale factors, software scaling did not.
