In order to simulate the outdoor navigation and evaluate the user map-reading ability, we developed a simulation system with two kinds of maps as shown in Figure 1. In the interface, the left side shows the 2D map while the right side shows the 3D street view of a Google map. From both maps, a user can be in a situation similar to the experiment we performed in the outdoor field; that is, the left map corresponds to a paper map given to a user and the right view gives the user the simulated real-world scenes. Similar to browsing a paper map, a user can operate the left map, but have more controls such as zooming in or out to different levels. On the other hand, the right view can simulate the user walking virtually and showing the real scenes. In addition, to confirm the surroundings of a position, a user can see other sides by panning or tilting the view left/right or upward/downward. Of course, this simulating system cannot perfectly simulate the real-world
situation. The human behaviors possible in outdoor environments are explicitly different from the ones possible in the system. However, this system provides a practical solution to measure such a sophisticated ability with less effort and time. Simply by navigating a route given in this system, the ability can be measured as a numerical value and can clarify the reasons for a lack of a sense of direction in detail through the measurements.
