Research On The Influence Of Personal And Environmental Factors On Pathfinding Behavior Based On Eye Movement Analysis

In order to make better use of the cultural resources such as libraries,museums,and food centers on campus,and to quickly and effectively identify the campus environment,this study proposes to apply the wearable eye tracker to the wayfinding experiment research on the campus.As a space object,the experimental route is divided into the first and second phases by midpoint.The first phase is more difficult to find the way and the second phase is less difficult.Through the use of eye tracking technology,combined with questionnaire surveys and behavioral observations,to explore the impact of personal factors and environmental factors on the wayfinding behavior on campus,analyze the participants’ attention to the environment during the wayfinding process,and provide a campus environment and guidance system The optimized design provides theoretical support.The research results are as follows:(1)Regarding the influence of gender on wayfinding behavior,in terms of wayfinding efficiency,gender has no significant effect on the total wayfinding time and the first phase wayfinding time;The efficiency of wayfinding in the second stage is higher than that of women;in terms of wayfinding behavior,gender has no significant effect on wayfinding behavior.(2)Regarding the impact of professional background on wayfinding behavior,there is no significant difference between the subjects of architectural design and non-architectural design in terms of wayfinding efficiency;in terms of wayfinding behavior,subjects with different professional backgrounds There are significant differences in the number of visual switches between the map and the scene,and the professional background has no significant impact on other wayfinding behaviors.(3)Regarding the effect of individual direction on wayfinding behavior,in terms of wayfinding efficiency,individual direction sense has a significant impact on the efficiency of wayfinding: the higher the self-assessment score of directionfinding,the higher the wayfinding efficiency of the subjects;In terms of road behavior,individual sense of direction only has a significant impact on hesitation and reentry behavior: the higher the self-assessment score of sense of direction,the fewer the number of hesitation and reentry behaviors that occur,and no significant impact on other wayfinding behaviors.(4)Participants paid more attention to artificial factors than natural factors during the wayfinding process.In most scenes such as the starting point scene,midpoint scene,and end point scene,the subject’s gaze duration and number of fixation points in the artificial element interest area are significantly higher than those of the natural element interest area,indicating that the subject’s attention to the artificial element Significantly higher than natural factors.(5)During the wayfinding process,the subjects mainly rely on the road elements for wayfinding.Because plants cannot be used as a reference in most scenes,only artificial elements are considered.In most scenes such as starting point scenes,promenade scenes,and water system scenes,the gaze duration and the number of gaze points in the road element interest area are significantly higher.The number of fixation points in the area of interest of other environmental elements.(6)The subjects paid more attention to the space with longer depth of field.In multiple scenes such as starting point scene,promenade scene,and water system scene,the subjects paid more attention to the space with a longer depth of field.Combining with the wayfinding behavior,they found that the space with a longer depth of field has certain guidance for wayfinding.(7)The guidance system and scene optimization should be based on human vision and behavior.Pay attention to the influence of personal factors and environmental factors on wayfinding,and adopt differentiated design strategies.
