Capturing real-time occupancy evaluations with virtual reality and think-aloud protocol: a piloted method
This article addresses the two inherent biases in occupancy evaluations – the overemphasis on physical attributes and the overreliance on retrospective data. Current assessments disregard the complexity of spatial perception and introduce memory failure to occupancy evaluations. We instead propose an inventive method that combines Virtual Reality (VR) and the think-aloud protocol to capture and pair real-time spatial perception with a follow-up questionnaire to dissect its evolving complexity. We piloted the method using a convenience sample of undergraduate students ( $n = 12$ ) and captured five variables of real-time spatial perception – environment, artifact, emotion, prior knowledge, language – via descriptive statistics and qualitative coding. We also found logistical challenges in using VR, such as technical errors (e.g. tracking lost) and fixed eye levels. Overall, the proposed method highlighted the dynamic nature of spatial perception and demonstrated that occupancy evaluations are beyond mere static snapshots captured at a specific moment.
