3、avid Waller investigates how people learn and mentally represent spatial information about their environment. Wearing a head-mounted display and carrying a laptop-based dual pipe image generator in a backpack, users can wirelessly walk through extremely large computer generated virtual environments.
4、 Research Project Examples Specificity of Spatial Memories When people learn about the locations of objects in a scene, what information gets represented in memory? For example, do people only remember what they saw, or do they commit more abstract information to memory? In two projects, we address
5、these questions by examining how well people recognize perspectives of a scene that are similar but not identical to the views that they have learned. In a third project, we examine the reference frames that are used to code spatial information in memory. In a fourth project, we investigate whether
6、the biases that people have in their memory for pictures also occur when they remember three-dimensional scenes. Nonvisual Egocentric Spatial Updating When we walk through the environment, we realize that the objects we pass do not cease to exist just because they are out of sight (e.g. behind us).
7、We stay oriented in this way because we spatially update (i.e., keep track of changes in our position and orientation relative to the environment.) 网站链接： http:/www.users.muohio.edu/wallerda/spacelab/spacelabproject.html 3、加拿大滑铁卢大学心理系设备: WorldViz Vizard 3D software toolkit, WorldViz PPT H8 optical in
