title: Design Guidelines for Landmarks to Support Navigation in Virtual Environments creator: Vinson, Norman G. subject: Applied Cognitive Psychology subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Human Computer Interaction description: Unfamiliar, large-scale virtual environments are difficult to navigate. This paper presents design guidelines to ease navigation in such virtual environments. The guidelines presented here focus on the design and placement of landmarks in virtual environments. Moreover, the guidelines are based primarily on the extensive empirical literature on navigation in the real world. A rationale for this approach is provided by the similarities between navigational behavior in real and virtual environments. publisher: ACM Press, New York, NY, USA date: 1999 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/3297/1/vinson99_nrc.pdf identifier: Vinson, Norman G.
