Improving Spatial Orientation in Immersive Environments
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) via YouTube
Overview
Explore a 30-minute conference talk from the ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction that delves into improving spatial awareness in virtual reality environments. Discover the findings of a comparative evaluation of three different approaches: landmarks, 3D minimaps, and waypoint navigation. Learn how these techniques impact user experience and productivity in scientific visualization tasks. Gain insights into the performance of 21 participants navigating virtual immersive environments, with a focus on the superior effectiveness of 3D minimaps in providing a macroscopic view. Understand user preferences regarding usability and immersion across these spatial orientation techniques. Recorded at the 2018 ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction in Berlin, Germany, this talk offers valuable knowledge for researchers and developers working on immersive VR experiences.
