Abstract

Previous work has shown that increased effort and use of one’s body can improve memory. When positioning windows inside a virtual reality, does the use of a larger volume, and using one’s legs to move around, improve ability to later find the windows? The results of our experiment indicate there can be a modest benefit for spatial memory and retrieval time, but at the cost of increased time spent initially positioning the windows.
