A height estimation experiment was conducted using a custom augmented reality Oculus Rift hardware and software prototype also described in this paper. The results show a consistency with previous research demonstrating that the presence of a visual body influences height estimates, just as it has been shown to influence distance estimates and affordance estimates.H.5.1 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]Multimedia Information SystemsArtificialaugmentedand virtual realities
