Virtual Wayfinding: A Comparison of Orientation and Navigation Behavior in Built and Virtual Environments

Campos, María Paz; Basaure, Tannia; Loyola, Mauricio

Conference full papers:

In this study we compare the wayfinding behavior of occupants in virtual reality and built spaces. Results show significant differences related to the speed of navigation, geometry of movement, and frequency of stops and turns. Subjective evaluations of spatial characteristics show no significant differences between built and virtual spaces.
