ABSTRACT

Humans explore unfamiliar places and have found ways to navigate through dierent environments – land, sea, sky, and more recently virtual worlds. Some people plan their journey in detail using information such as maps, journey planning websites, and spoken directions. Others rely on environmental features, landmarks, artworks, and their sense of direction to nd their way. In unfamiliar environments, people are likely to preplan their journey and to use a combination of information sources in the environment to help them to navigate.
