之前的研究报告了有趣的性别影响，涉及女性在大型显示器上以更广阔的视野导航的具体好处。然而，目前尚不清楚是什么推动了 3D 导航性能的提高，也不清楚这种效果是否与性别或空间能力更紧密地相关。我们在本文中报告的研究复制并扩展了之前的工作，证明了针对性别的导航优势来自于光流线索的存在，而大型显示器上更宽的视野可以更好地提供这种优势。该研究还表明，这种影响确实可能与性别有关，而不是与空间能力有关。总之，这些发现为 HCI 社区做出了重大贡献，因为我们在经验数据的支持下为 3D 环境的设计和呈现提供了强有力的建议。此外，这些建议确实有利于女性，而不会损害男性的导航能力。
Previous research reported interesting gender effects involving specific benefits for females navigating with wider fields of view on large displays. However, it was not clear what was driving the 3D navigation performance gains, and whether or not the effect was more tightly coupled to gender or to spatial abilities. The study we report in this paper replicates and extends previous work, demonstrating that the gender-specific navigation benefits come from the presence of optical flow cues, which are better afforded by wider fields of view on large displays. The study also indicates that the effect may indeed be tied to gender, as opposed to spatial abilities. Together, the findings provide a significant contribution to the HCI community, as we provide strong recommendations for the design and presentation of 3D environments, backed by empirical data. Additionally, these recommendations reliably benefit females, without an accompanying detriment to male navigation performance.
