How do architectural differences effect the spatial experiences of users? Using four options, we studied the differences in subjective spatial experiences using VREVAL our Open-Source Platform for User-centered Design Evaluation.

Guest Lecture: Predicting Spatial Usage – From Geometry Analysis to Virtual Reality
We are happy to host Olaf and Ekaterina for a Guest Lecture
Time: 18.11.2024 Mo 14:00 c.t. - 16:00
Room: WE5/02.020
Abstract:
This lecture explores two approaches to simulating and predicting spatial usage and user experience. The first part examines Space Syntax techniques, analyzing geometric configurations of space to understand potential movement and spatial interactions. The second introduces the OpenVREVAL framework, demonstrating how Virtual Reality (VR) user studies provide dynamic insights into navigability, design preferences, and user behavior. Together, these approaches bridge analytical models and experiential methods, offering valuable tools for informed spatial design.
