| Abstract: | This paper describes a generic approach to the design of a 3D virtual environment for
visual navigation. The basic design principle is that users need to understand how an
environment is organized and how they can utilise the knowledge to find their way
through the environment. In this paper, we focus on the relationship between implicit
semantic structures associated with a collection of domain-specific documents and
users’ cognitive needs in the context of visual navigation. We extend the notion of
Pathfinder networks in order to represent implicit semantic structures in a 3D virtual
environment. Users’ cognitive needs in visual navigation are conceptualized based on
the concept of cognitive maps. |
