Revealing hidden objects outdoors in mixed reality only helps if people can judge how far away those objects are. This paper evaluates far-field depth perception in a handheld outdoor setting using two photorealistic visualisations of occluded objects — X-ray and Melt — with and without an added depth cue. It tests which rendering choices help users perceive the true position of things they cannot directly see.
