The basic premise is that an individual's prior experience will influence how one perceives, comprehends and remembers information in a scene. 120 participants across two conditions of varying rendering quality of a space including varied ratios of objects' association to the scene context, are being exposed to the VE and complete an object-based memory recognition task. The results of this study could have significant implications while identifying areas of an interactive computer graphics scene that require varying quality of rendering.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/105-105ACM SIGGRAPH Mania Aikaterini Μανια Αικατερινη Nick Mourkoussis Tom Troscianko Rycharde Hawkes Association for Computing Machinery Work, Virtual virtual work work virtual
