Spatial Ability Skills: A correlation between Augmented Reality (AR) and conventional way on wayfinding system

Abstract

An urban design has become the latest technology in having a quality life for users. With increasing mobility of individuals, there is an increase in demand for a wayfinding system to people who are on the move. However, research regarding the use, evaluation and effect are limited. This research reviews on the conventional and Augmented Reality (AR) based wayfinding approaches and their correlation with the user’s spatial ability. A set of questionnaires and research framework with the aid of AR prototype will be used to achieve results.© 2016. The Authors. Published for AMER ABRA by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK.
