Displaying landscape photos on a large curved screen : The impact of viewing condition on evaluations

Sammanfattning

Photographic representations are commonly used as substitutes for on-site experience of landscapes in research on human evaluations of landscape. However, there is an ongoing discussion about the validity of such representations. In this study we explore how screen size affects evaluations. We also present an approach in which 2D static photographs are used in combination with a digital 3D environment, combining the advantages of a photorealistic representation of vegetation and a digital model. Forty-two respondents, divided into two equal groups, evaluated forests with three different degrees of biodiversity viewed either on a 17 inch computer screen or on a 7m x 3m curved display. Groups evaluated the forests using the Basic Emotional Qualities scale, where subjects are asked to judge how they would feel after having spent a period of time in the environment presented. Although the overall landscape evaluation was not statistically significant under the different screen conditions, interesting differences in evaluation of the different forests were found that suggest that the evaluations were affected by viewing conditions
