Stimuli used in Experiment 2. Left: We render a scene with nine different fields of views (FoV), ranging from wide-angle linear perspective (\(60^{\circ }\)) to ultrawide linear perspective (\(140^{\circ }\)) in steps of \(10^{\circ }\). Right: Similar to Experiment 1, for each of those images, we render the same scene but with a prominent object (i.e., a yellow bus) following a local-linear perspective. We asked participants to judge “Which object looks more like a bus?” We set the bus in two different orientations (rows). We then ask people to provide evaluate the distortion using a 1-5 Likert scale. Similar to the previous experiment, this tests whether people’s judgments of perceived distortion is consistent with the global-consistency prediction, or the local-linear prediction of the DVC..
