description This work intends to define the resolution requirements for near-field projections in a psycho-physical study design to evaluate the participants’ perception under the influence of different ambient lighting levels and various viewing distances. The variation in ambient lighting and viewing distances relates to various daytime and critical distances in urban environments. The application of near-field projections increases the popularity of communication- or safety-relevant projections, such as for automated vehicles. However, previous studies in the filming industry have shown that the resolution requirements differ depending on the application. In this work, a field study design presents an experimental approach to define a perceived resolution on the street surface in the near field around the vehicle. Furthermore, the study evaluates the influence of viewing distance, ambient lighting and projection content on the perceived resolution in detail. The results reveal a significant dependency on ambient lighting (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Furthermore, this work states that the symbol-based projection has lower resolution requirements, e.g., a viewing distance of 1 m and 3 m results in a 2 pixels per degree resolution compared to the text-based projection in the parking garage scenario. Nevertheless, in the dusk/dawn scenario, the perceived resolution can be grouped for viewing distances above 1 m for content-independent projections.
