Carmen A virtual reality photography application to assess spatial memory 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted In this paper, the first virtual reality (VR) photography application that incorporates elements on panoramic images to assess short-term spatial memory is presented. It also allows the interaction with these elements. A study was conducted (N¿=¿50) to compare participants’ performance outcomes and subjective experience when using a VR application with and without panoramic photography. The results show that both applications are effective in assessing short-term spatial memory. The results with panoramic photography include: 1) It was effective for short-term recall since, after using the application, the participants were able to verbally recall the objects and place them without significant differences with respect to the objects correctly placed; 2) The performance outcomes were independent of age and gender; 3) The perceived level of presence was directly related to experiencing less cybersickness when using the application; 4) The level of satisfaction was directly related to perceived enjoyment, concentration, usability, competence, calmness, and expertise; 5) The more the familiarity with VR applications, the less the perceived cybersickness. Finally, the application offers two main advantages: 1) The evaluators can customize the environment by adding as many elements as desired to the panoramic photograph; 2) It could be especially suitable for groups with reduced mobility. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S31-20D info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.es 3.7 2022 ERGONOMICS 6 / 16 = 0.375 2022 Q2 T2 COMPUTER SCIENCE, CYBERNETICS 8 / 24 = 0.333 2022 Q2 T2 0.941 2022 Arts and Humanities (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 Human-Computer Interaction 2022 Q2 Developmental and Educational Psychology 2022 Q2 6.8 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Estevan, Miguel Mendez-Lopez, Magdalena Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4249-602X Álvarez Fidalgo, Camino Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4732-6417 Lluch, Javier Vivo, Roberto 4009 735 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
