Immersive virtual environments (VEs) are increasingly used to evaluate human responses design variables. VEs provide a tremendous capacity isolate and readily adjust specific features of an architectural or product design. They also allow researchers safely effectively measure performance factors physiological responses. However, the success this form design-testing depends on generalizability response measurements between real-world contexts. At current time, there is very limited research...

The COVID-19 pandemic has extensively changed the state of psychological science from what research questions psychologists can ask to which methodologies use investigate them. In this article, we offer a perspective on how optimize new in pandemic’s wake. Because is inherently social phenomenon—an event that hinges human-to-human contact—we focus socially relevant subfields psychology. We highlight specific phenomena have likely shifted as result and discuss theoretical, methodological,...

The process of urban landmark-based navigation has proven to be difficult study in a rigorous fashion, primarily due confounding variables and the problem obtaining reliable data real-world contexts. development high-resolution, immersive virtual reality technologies opened exciting new possibilities for gathering on human wayfinding that could not otherwise readily obtained. We developed research platform using environment electroencephalography (EEG) better understand neural processes...

ABSTRACT Wayfinding difficulties in healthcare facilities have been shown to increase anxiety among patients and visitors reduce staff operational efficiency. Wayfinding-oriented interior design features proven beneficial, but the evaluation of their performance is hindered by unique nature expense testing different navigational aids. This study implemented a virtual-reality platform evaluate effects signage hospital conditions during tasks; evaluated through behavioral responses mobile EEG....

This study investigated the neural dynamics associated with short-term exposure to different virtual classroom designs window placement and room dimension. Participants engaged in five brief cognitive tasks each design condition including Stroop Test, Digit Span Benton a Visual Memory an Arithmetic Test. Performance on tests Electroencephalogram (EEG) data were analyzed by contrasting various conditions. The cognitive-test-performance results showed no significant differences related...
