Abstract

Wearable navigational technologies that confer consistent spatial orienting information show promise in improving environmental spatial awareness. The current study compared spatial orienting after using a navigational wearable providing consistent orienting information versus typical intermittent verbal feedback. Results suggest differential changes in spatial awareness as a function of spatial information provided.
