Experimental results on the perception and cognition of distances in virtual environments are reported. These results show differences in the accuracy of distance perception depending on whether they are presented in desktop- or HMD-VR. In addition. they how that distance cognition in virtual environments is based on online-judgements (perception based) or on inferential judgements (memory based) depending on the subjects goal when navigating through the environment. Without an explicit goal to learn distances (incidental learning condition) the estimated length of routes in d virtual environment is inferred by the number of features (feature-accumulation-hypothesis) experienced on the respective route just like in natural environments.
