Objects that are closer to us are bigger, and vice versa. Closer objects move faster, farther objects move slower. e. g. cars seem to move fast, while plane seems to move slow. Tricks for vr: intersection, hallway look for patterning, vanishing point. Vr space can be divided into 3 primiary area of interest:
