Abstract

The effectiveness and advantages of virtual environment (VE) in achieving certain tasks are presented. VE are used for training purposes. This logic is tested which trains a navigation task using a VE. Subjects are given ten minutes to study a novel environment using either a map or a VE. Both the map and the VE contained icons representing target objects in the environment. Target objects are salient objects in the environment which, after the training, subjects are required to walk to in the actual environment. The analyses reveal that training with the VE resulted in significant improvements in navigation over the expectation of untrained navigation.
