Abstract

Virtual city environments have been used widely in recent years as a substitute for physical travel in the form of mirrored worlds. This study aims to enhance user experience by providing better self-location and spatial knowledge acquisition during visits with simplified virtual city scenes and location-based floating information of points of interest (POIs). Our goal is to reduce redundant information disturbance by simplifying the overload of environmental information. Three experiments were conducted to explore the effect of simplifying overload redundant information and different information acquisition methods. We are hopeful that our study will assist users in better learning about specific areas in reality through their visits to virtual scenes and provide some reflection for further explorations of the demands of spatial knowledge and information acquisition during a city tour.
