Facilitating Wayfinding Using a Hypermedia Representation of Spatial Cognitive Maps
Navigation in large-scale natural environments is not new and has been dealt with some success across various cultures and species in the animal kingdom. Currently, interest in navigation and wayfinding has been revived by difficulties users usually experience when navigating through large-scale 3D computer virtual environments (CVEs). In this paper, the facilitation of wayfinding in such envir...
متن کاملWayfinding and cognitive maps for pedestrian models
Usually, routing models in pedestrian dynamics assume that agents have fulfilled and global knowledge about the building’s structure. However, they neglect the fact that pedestrians possess no or only parts of information about their position relative to final exits and possible routes leading to them. To get a more realistic description we introduce the systematics of gathering and using spati...
متن کاملSpatial Cognition, Cognitive Mapping, and Cognitive Maps
7.1 Background Cognitive mapping is defined as "a process composed of a series of psychological transformations by which an individual acquires, stores, recalls, and decodes information about the relative locations and attributes of the phenomena in his everyday spatial environment" (Downs & Stea, 1973: 7). Cognitive mapping is usually considered to be a subset of spatial cognition which can be...

متن کاملWayfinding Choreme Maps
This contribution details how conceptual characterizations of route knowledge can provide the basis for graphical route information in a cognitively adequate way. The approach is based on the theory of wayfinding choremes that originated from the leitmotif to reflect mental conceptualization processes—as a canonical representation—in different modes of externalization, primarily graphical and v...
