Understanding spatial cognition makes VR better

quote [ A basic understanding of spatial memory and other cognitive mechanisms is an extremely valuable consideration in VR development. ]

Anybody who has had to listen to me ramble on about the cognitive similarities of VR and Religious Rituals over the past 8 years will at one point or another received a lecture on memory palaces and eventually a recommendation to read Moonwalking with Einstein. :D

Moonwalking is a fine book. Anyone interested should also check out Remember, Remember by Ed Cooke (and pretty much anything else Ed Cooke has done or said), and his site Memrise where there are many fine courses using the palace techniques. I find pornographic mental images a great way to recall sequences.

It is quite a cool area of work at the moment.
