In this paper we introduce a new use for distance fields: lighting of three dimensional environments to assist in navigation. Studies on visual search have shown that it is easy to locate an object if it has contrast in color or luminance with other elements in the scene. Since luminance and color guide visual attention, their application to aid in navigation is a natural extension. A user study comparing distance field illumination with existing navigational aids verifies the effectiveness of the new technique. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
