The visualization of spatial information for wayfinding assistance requires a substantial amount of display area. Depending on the particular route, even large screens can be insufficient to visualize all information at once and in a scale such that users can understand the specific course of the route and its spatial context. Personalized wayfinding maps, such as μMaps are a possible solution ...

Space-geometric measures are proposed to explain the location of fixations during wayfinding. Results from an eye tracking study based on real-world stimuli are analysed; the gaze bias shows that attention is paid to structural elements in the built environment. Three space-geometric measures are used to explain the data: sky area, floor area and longest line of sight. Together with the finding...

One mental ability crucial for navigation, both in the real world and in a v i r t u a l environment, is spatial cognition. This review will discuss individual differences in spatial cognition and wayfinding; and how these differences could effect n a v i-gation in a virtual environment. Other human aspects, as cognitive strategies and personality factors, related to navigation and the use of c...

Thousands of people pass through Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in The Netherlands every day. Despite being one of the largest and busiest airports in the world, Schiphol strives to offer passengers a stress-free experience. Being unable to find your way around an airport is a common frustration for travellers the world over. In an endeavour to solve this problem, Schiphol has launched an update to...

This work investigates whether large-scale indoor layouts can be learned and navigated non-visually, using verbal descriptions of layout geometry that are updated, e.g. contingent on a participant's location in a building. In previous research, verbal information has been used to facilitate route following, not to support free exploration and wayfinding. Our results with blindfolded-sighted par...

Virtual Reality (VR) provides the possibility to study pedestrian wayfinding behaviour in multi-level buildings. Although VR has been applied increasingly behaviour, it remained unclear how different technology would affect behavioural outcomes a building. The compares adoption of technologies for studies, via investigating difference and user experience. Wayfinding experiments with two groups ...

<em><span lang="EN-US">Architectural design through the concept of wayfinding for mental health facilities can support patient's healing process, by providing designs that influence cognitive behavior. The main problem is how to solve spatial disorientation in building. architecture theories observe and harness environmental elements as a factor This information applied help occupan...


 Effective wayfinding design should efficiently and accessibly provide navigational tools to its user. These are multidimensional engage a complex network of socio-political, cultural, economic, linguistic issues. This paper interrogates the system on Stellenbosch University’s campus – space where issues regarding injustice have been prevalent due university’s long history with Afrikaans ...

We are traveling many different routes every day. In familiar environments it is easy for us to find our ways. We know our way from bedroom to kitchen, from home to work, from parking place to office, and back home at the end of the working day. We have learned these routes in the past and are now able to find our destination without having to think about it. As soon as we want to find a place ...
