La 3D interactive en temps réel comme aide à l'acquisition des connaissances spatiales: étude de l'influence du mode d'exploration

by Mohamed-Ahmed, Ashraf

This research is part of the general framework of real time 3D interaction as a tool for representation, aided design and communication of design ideas. A factor, interaction and more precisely, navigation in a non immersive 3D Virtual Environment (VE), is the research subject. Using an experimental approach, the influence of real time 3D interaction on the acquisition of spatial knowledge is demonstrated, through observation of exploration modes in a complex virtual space. The research results stress a positive influence on spatial understanding through 3D interaction of visited environments during an active exploration. However, during passive exploration mode, the results revealed sketches with more spatial representations errors.
