Differences between blind people's cognitive maps after proximity and distant exploration of virtual environments

作者:

Highlights:

• This is the first work comparing distant and proximity exploration.

• Preconceived ideas interfere with objective feedback, and even prevail over it.

• Effectiveness of wall detection alters exploration behaviour.

• Obstacles are more easily detected with distant exploration configurations.

• Said ease is not enough to build better cognitive maps.
