Wayfinding Study Tool with the Dual Solution Paradigm

Made in Unity 2022.3.30f1

Overview

This Unity project is intended to be a tool for conducting wayfinding studies, with extinsibility in mind for future studies and parameter tweaks. Such a tool was previously not available online.

This project includes an implementation of the Dual Solution Paradigm (DSP), a framework commonly used in wayfinding studies to analyze how individuals navigate and find their way in different environments. Please see Running a DSP Study for more info.

Features

• A fully working and usuable Dual Solution Paradigm Study implementation
• Stat collection for individual trials and studies as a whole
• An extensible codebase, in which new parameters and logic can be added in a modern and stable unity version.
• Generally, a framework from which future wayfinding studies can be ran from.
