dc.description.abstract
Wayfinding has been widely studied in fields of locationbased
service and geospatial cognition. It is currently unclear how
wayfinding behaviour and spatial knowledge acquisition in immersive
virtual reality (iVR) differ from those in real-world environments
(REs). To investigate this question, we conducted the wayfinding experiment
in RE with twenty-five participants and in iVR with forty
participants. Participants’ eye movements, verbal reports and questionnaires
were recorded. The results revealed that participants processed
visual information more efficiently in RE but searched visual
information more efficiently in iVR. For spatial learning, participants’
distance estimation was more accurate in iVR. This empirical study
proves the ecological validity of iVR and encourages further studies to
use VR techniques in wayfinding research.
