....virtual landscape fish eye views focus attention on one area but provide a wide angle to overall view. Three dimensional fly overs of virtual spaces are made possible with computer technology. Learning to find ones way in a new space is another aspect of navigation considered by psychologists (Kuipers, 1982, G rling et al. 1982) First, we learn a linked list of items when we see the hedge we know that we should turn left. Then we get to know some landmarks and can start relating our position with regards to this landmark. We learn the relative position of landmarks and start building mental maps ....

....and Allen 1988) 2.2.2 COGNITIVE MAPS To successfully perform wayfinding, people need clues within their environment (i.e. knowledge in the world) or representations of spatial knowledge about their environment. One useful metaphor suggests that people have a cognitive map in their heads (Kuipers 1982) a mental representation that corresponds to people s perceptions of the real world although other metaphors, such as cognitive collage and spatial mental model (Tversky 1993) or cognitive atlas (Hirtle 1997) have also been proposed. Despite the fact that these representations are called ....

.... this approach, some researchers did not adopt a multi level spatial representation or a representation based on any computational model for human cognitive mapping [Mataric, 1990; Malkin and Addanki, 1990; Sarachik, 1989; Engelson 1994] Others employed the SSH approach as in the TOUR model [Kuipers, 1978, 1982, 1983] NX model [Kuipers and Byun, 1987, 1988, 1991] and Qualnav model [Levitt et al. 1987; Kuipers and Levitt, 1988] Kortenkamp et al. 1993] employed a different multilevel spatial representation for their robot RPLAN. Their representation is based on a computational model, PLAN [Chown et ....

It is structured as follows: Section 2 summarizes the characteristics of MonaLysa that have already been described elsewhere. Section 3 ....
