Although this chapter was published before the ACM- TAP paper (above), it reflects work which is a follow-up to that research. It addresses the problem with environmental transfer found in the previous work and clearly demonstrates that adding spatial information to the verbal signal, e.g. hearing “left” from the listener’s left side, improves cognitive map development. Unexpectedly, this simple addition led to reliably better results than including ideothetic cues via real rotation in the VVD. These results have significant relevance to the design of both virtual and real-time verbal interfaces and definitively demonstrate the efficacy of virtual verbal displays (VVDs) for spatial knowledge acquisition and pre-journey learning of virtual layouts and environmental transfer to accurate navigation of the corresponding physical spaces.
