A study on visual information acquisition based on spatial cognition

The purpose of this study is to acquire visual information followed by spatial cognition and focus on way-finding accordingly. Thé acquisition of visual information was analyzed by attaching an action camera to the head and chest and comparing the body movement direction and head direction. Study results showed that only 66.67% of Group B, who had no knowledge of the path, compared to Group A, who were familiar with the experiment area, selected the shortest path. The movement times for each group were 35.13 seconds for Group A and 40.14 seconds for Group B, a difference of 5.01 seconds. An analysis of the movement for visual information acquisition showed that the movement of the head was presented to be Left-7.33 times, Center-7.57 times, and Right-7.1 times in regard to the movement direction of the body.
