Spatial Memory study
From EuroVR Knowledge Base
Description
Similar to their attentional measures, Darken et al. (1999) base this approach on Held & Durlach’s notion of presence as an “alternate experience”. If presence is the sense of being in another place, the amount of spatial information that is remembered from the VE can be used as a presence measure.
