In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for assessing the salience of landmarks
for navigation. Landmark salience is derived as a result of the observer's point of view, both …

Landmarks are accepted as one of the vital elements in both virtual and real environments
during wayfinding tasks. This paper provides an overview of the existing literature on the …

We study the automatic generation of navigation instructions from 360-degree images
captured on indoor routes. Existing generators suffer from poor visual grounding, causing …

This article addresses the problem of incorporating cognitively salient landmarks in
computer-generated navigation instructions. On the basis of a review of the existing …

Many older people, both with and without dementia, eventually move from their familiar
home environments into unfamiliar surroundings, such as sheltered housing or care homes …

Tourist maps are essential resources for visitors to an unfamiliar city because they visually
highlight landmarks and other points of interest. Yet, hand-designed maps are static …

The complexity of urban physical environments at road intersections is a primary factor
characterizing the difficulty of wayfinding, which is a fundamental spatial activity of human …

The role of robots in society keeps expanding, bringing with it the necessity of interacting
and communicating with humans. In order to keep such interaction intuitive, we provide …

Turn-by-turn instructions of navigation systems do not fully correspond to the way in which
people typically communicate spatial information to each other. Previous research …

Cognitive training approaches using virtual environments (VEs) might counter age-related
visuospatial memory decline and associated difficulties in wayfinding. However, the effects …
