ABSTRACT

As indoor wayfinding can be very challenging, adapted systems, which adapt the route instruction type, are being developed to facilitate more supportive indoor route guidance. In this study, such a system has been developed based on the results of an online survey. This adapted system was compared with a non-adapted system by use of eye tracking, position tracking, an orientation test and a questionnaire. The results revealed that using symbols instead of photos reduced the imposed cognitive load, while using 3D-simulations instead of photos improved the environmental awareness. This resulted in less wayfinding errors with the adapted system, compared to the non-adapted system. Therefore, the present study provides additional evidence on the benefits of adapted systems for indoor route guidance.

摘要

由于室内寻路可能非常具有挑战性，因此正在开发适应路线指示类型的适应性系统，以促进更多支持性的室内路线引导。在本研究中，基于在线调查的结果开发了这样一个系统。通过使用眼动追踪、位置追踪、定向测试和问卷调查，将该适配系统与非适配系统进行了比较。结果表明，使用符号代替照片减少了强加的认知负担，而使用 3D 模拟代替照片提高了环境意识。与未适配的系统相比，这导致适配系统的寻路错误更少。因此，本研究提供了额外的证据来证明适应性系统对室内路线引导的好处。
