Dynamic Spatial Test in Augmented Reality
| In the project we develop a new type of test for the assessment of spatial abilities that differs from conventional spatial ability tests in several aspects. First, traditional spatial ability tests (paper-pencil as well as on-screen computer versions) assess 3-dimensional spatial abilities with 2-dimensional means. The new test will measure the ability to visualize and mentally manipulate 3-dimensional objects in actual 3-dimensional space, and should thus have a higher ecological validity than previous spatial ability tests. This will be possible through use of the augmented reality tool Construct3D, which allows the projecting of virtual 3-dimensional objects into real space where they can be seen and manipulated by means of Head Mounted Display and 6DOF input device. |
