“…They noted that the group used carefully constructed verbal instructions performed better than the route map in travel time and distance and the number of navigation errors. Coors et al (2005) compared 2-D maps and 3-D visualisations formats of a route instruction on mobile devices. The 2-D maps group located their positions and reached destinations faster than 3-D format group.…”

Spatial cognition has become an increasingly important area of study since it represents a major type of human knowledge with considerable practical significance. The general assumption is that people's spatial knowledge forms people's spatial behaviour, such as navigation, in the environment. However, there are some critical issues within this area, including: how such knowledge is represented and organised, the mechanisms by which it is activated, and the elementary and higher-level cognitive processes that function upon the knowledge base to produce new knowledge as well as the factors that are influential on acquiring spatial knowledge. The theories regarding spatial knowledge acquisitions have attempted to address these issues. This paper discusses these issues by reviewing the literature. As such, the paper firstly provides the research background on spatial knowledge acquisition and the theories of spatial knowledge development. Secondly, the paper debates the main factors affecting acquiring and forming knowledge about the environment. In doing that, the effects of two main factors are discussed: 1) the means of spatial knowledge acquisition (direct experience, physical map, and mobile maps), and 2) the role of different properties of physical environment.

“…Segundo Coors et al (2005), para projetar um sistema que será visualizado em dispositivos móveis e que possua uma apresentação eficiente, é necessário adaptá-la a fatores situacionais, como os recursos disponíveis no momento ou a qualidade das informações posicionais disponíveis. Sendo assim, dois tipos de recursos possuem relevância, os recursos cognitivos e os recursos tecnológicos.…”

Um sistema de navegação é projetado para auxiliar os usuários em tarefas de navegação em áreas outdoor ou indoor. Os sistemas beneficiam os pedestres, pois reduzem o esforço cognitivo empregado ao navegar, ao auxiliar na localização, na orientação do usuário e no planejamento da rota. Existem variadas aplicações voltadas para a navegação em ambientes indoor em shoppings, museus, aeroportos e bibliotecas. Em ambientes indoor as pessoas perdem a orientação mais facilmente do que ao ar livre, por isso, os sistemas de navegação indoor são projetados para atender essa necessidade. Sendo assim, ao desenvolver um sistema de navegação indoor, diferentes aspectos têm que ser considerados, como o posicionamento, a apresentação de rota e se há compreensão dos elementos apresentados, entre outras características. Um sistema de navegação indoor ideal deve possuir a funcionalidade de determinar a posição do usuário ao longo do trajeto, quando o sistema não permite essa funcionalidade ele é dito não adaptativo. Porém, considerando as limitações existentes para gerar um sistema ideal, este estudo apresenta quais elementos dentre recursos e ferramentas, podem ser empregados em um sistema não adaptativo, visando facilitar a navegação e demandar menos atenção do usuário. Assim, neste artigo, são apresentados os principais aspectos necessários para um sistema de navegação indoor não adaptativo, como: recursos cognitivos e tecnológicos, a informação posicional, a representação do ambiente, os pontos de referência e o traçado das rotas, descrições de rota e comandos de voz. Sendo assim, espera-se construir um arcabouço teórico sobre os aspectos que aprimoram a orientação dos navegadores e o mapeamento cognitivo em ambientes indoor.

“…Among the sensory modalities, vision seems to be the natural one to be used for communicating environmental information [16]. Various types of visual information were investigated in the literature: text [24], 2D-arrows [12], 3D models [24], and photographs [25]. However, those visual instructions might be hard to interpret due to their complexity [24] and the effort required to fit information with the environment [26].…”

However, those visual instructions might be hard to interpret due to their complexity [24] and the effort required to fit information with the environment [26]. Also, these instructions often require a lot of attention to be perceived, which could be a serious drawback for a use in the context of outdoor navigation in an urban setting.…”

Preserving older pedestrians’ navigation skills in urban environments is a challenge for maintaining their quality of life. However, the maps that are usually used by older pedestrians might be unsuitable to their specificities and the existing digital aids do not consider older people’s perceptual and cognitive declines or user experience. This study presents a rich description of the navigation experience of older pedestrians either with a visual (augmented reality glasses), auditory (bone conduction headphones), or a visual and haptic (smartwatch) wearable device adapted to age-related declines. These wearable devices are compared to the navigation aid older people usually use when navigating the city (their own digital or paper map). The study, with 18 participants, measured the navigation performance and captured detailed descriptions of the users’ experience using interviews. We highlight three main phenomena which impact the quality of the user experience with the four aids: (1) the shifts in attention over time, (2) the understanding of the situation over time, and (3) the emergence of affective and aesthetic feelings over time. These findings add a new understanding of the specificities of navigation experience by older people and are discussed in terms of design recommendations for navigation devices.
