Some phenomena in the spatial representation of virtual reality

Abstract

Virtual reality is widely used to present architectural design space. It has also provided a solution that general public without architectural design background can easier understand complex space which has not been constructed yet. However, how much information could general public understand, while browsing design space presented by virtual reality? In this study, we have compared the experimental results from one with architectural design background and the other without architectural design background in different space factors such as form, scale, organization, circulation of space. Finally, we conclude some preliminary phenomena from the data. The phenomena could be the guidelines to the design of spatial navigation in the system of virtual reality.
