“…Thus our results are consistent with the somewhat counterintuitive theoretical claim (Betrancourt, 2005;Krygier et al, 1997) that limited interactivity may sometimes be more effective than full interactivity. This point is reminiscent of research by Smallman and St. John (2005) regarding misplaced faith in 3D displays in which they show that performance with 2D displays is superior for many tasks.…”

Spatial Reasoning With External Visualizations: What Matters Is What You See, Not Whether You Interact

Three experiments examined the effects of interactive visualizations and spatial abilities on a task requiring participants to infer and draw cross sections of a three-dimensional (3D) object. The experiments manipulated whether participants could interactively control a virtual 3D visualization of the object while performing the task, and compared participants who were allowed interactive control of the visualization to those who were not allowed control. In Experiment 1, interactivity produced better performance than passive viewing, but the advantage of interactivity disappeared in Experiment 2 when visual input for the two conditions in a yoked design was equalized. In Experiments 2 and 3, differences in how interactive participants manipulated the visualization were large and related to performance. In Experiment 3, non-interactive participants who watched optimal movements of the display performed as well as interactive participants who manipulated the visualization effectively and better than interactive participants who manipulated the visualization ineffectively. Spatial ability made an independent contribution to performance on the spatial reasoning task, but did not predict patterns of interactive behavior. These experiments indicate that providing participants with active control of a computer visualization does not necessarily enhance task performance, whereas seeing the most task-relevant information does, and this is true regardless of whether the task-relevant information is obtained actively or passively.

“…Thus, readers may judge their comprehension on the basis of belief about multimedia presentations. Previous studies have suggested that people believe that realistic images improve their performance on tasks such as detecting changes (e.g., Levin, Momen, Drivdahl, & Simons, 2000;Smallman & St. John, 2005). If so, the format in which neuroscientific information is presented may affect not only the credibility of neuroscientific information, but also metacomprehension judgment, because brain images are realistic.…”

Neuroscientific information bias in metacomprehension: The effect of brain images on metacomprehension judgment of neuroscience research

et al. 2013

In the present study, we investigated how brain images affect metacomprehension judgments of neuroscience research. Participants made a prereading judgment of comprehension of the text topic and then read a text about neuroimaging findings. In Experiment 1, participants read text only or text accompanying brain images. In Experiment 2, participants read text accompanying bar graphs or text accompanying brain images. Then participants were asked to rate their comprehension of the text. Finally, they completed comprehension tests. The results of Experiment 1 showed that the text accompanying brain images was associated with higher metacomprehension judgments than was the text only, whereas the performance of the comprehension test did not differ between each condition. The results of Experiment 2 showed that the text accompanying brain images was associated not only with credibility of the text, but also with higher metacomprehension judgments than was the text accompanying the bar graphs, whereas the performance of the comprehension test did not differ between each condition. The findings suggest that the readers' subjective judgments differ from actual comprehension.

“…One disadvantage with photorealistic representations is that they provide the users with too much information that obscures the main message. Furthermore, there are results from the field of psychology stating that users have a too strong belief in highly realistic displays [32]. This belief might result in users putting a higher trust in photorealistic representations.…”

Automation of Building Permission by Integration of BIM and Geospatial Data

Abstract:The building permission process is to a large extent an analogue process where much information is handled in paper format or as pdf files. With the ongoing digitalisation in society, there is a potential to automate this process by integrating Building Information Models (BIM) of planned buildings and geospatial data to check if a building conforms to the building permission regulations. In this study, an inventory of which regulations in the (Swedish) detailed development plans that can be automatically checked or supported by 3D visualisation was conducted. Then, two of these regulations, the building height and the building footprint area, were studied in detail to find to which extent they can be automatically checked by integration of BIM and geospatial data. In addition, a feasibility study of one visual criterion was conducted. One concern when automating the building permission process is the variability of content within the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model. Variations in modelling methods and model content leads to differences in IFC models' content and structure; these differences complicate automated processes. To facilitate automated processes, requirements on the production of IFC models for building permission applications could be defined in the form of model view definitions or delivery specifications.
