I have a PhD student Craig Allison who is looking at spatial understanding in maps and related 3D spaces. He entered and won the faculty round of three minute thesis', a public speaking competition to see who could present their work best in three minutes with one powerpoint slide. This is his talk at the final of the event competing with other PhD students from around the University.
Navigation in 3D Spaces: He covers the importance of designing 3D spaces well to assist users navigate them and the gender differences that he has found in his experiments. It's especially relevant to anyone designing virtual field trips using tools such as streetview and/or Sketchup.
Sad that I couldn't make the talk to support him, great work Craig!
I've marked the location of the Psychology building he discusses if anyone wants a look.
