Abstract
To keep spatial awareness in virtual multilevel building, navigator
should understand the spatial structure of space. Mental representation of spatial
structure in a virtual cylindrical room was investigated in present experiments.
Participants first observed two static views of space in which the two
viewpoints were on the same vertical plane but with different heights, and then
either judged the relative direction of object in the first experiment or
egocentrically pointed out the direction of object in the second experiment. The
results suggested that the orientation-dependent representation of spatial
structure was created even though participants could learn the space from two
different viewpoints lying on the vertical dimension of space.
