Think Spatially With Game Engine

摘要: Spatial thinking and spatial orientation skills are involved in tasks related to the recognition of landforms, mapping, interpretation, landscape analysis, can be developed with specific training. Game engines facilitate creation 3D virtual landforms provide powerful rendering for graphical representation landscapes from a first-person perspective. In present research, 27 engineering students participated workshop environment using created game engine. The Thinking Ability Test Perspective Taking-Spatial Orientation measured improvement as result this workshop. gain (8.31%) is within range observed previous research field geography web-based GIS strategy (7.31%–10.00%). skill (15.76%) comparable both strategies based urban environments (14.23%), Data Infrastructures (gains between 21.17% 21.34%). Participants better self-reported sense direction had performance on test.
