Collaborative Modelling

Explanation: The questionnaire consists of two parts which are targeting on gaining different insights. In the first part, we will evaluate student’s findings after immerging virtually into yuor own apartment. In the second part we look into the spatial perception of the Lohas project. For all statements below please answer with 1-5 (Legend: 1 strongly agree, 2 agree, 3 neutral, 4 disagree, 5 strongly disagree)Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.

Please open the app of your self-provided floor plan with your VR device - Smartphone and VR HMD mount (virtual reality head-mounted display mount) - and put it on. Walk around freely and observe your apartment carefully. Please walk into every room and look around. You have created a 3D model of it and you are living in the real apartment. Would you agree to the following statements:

	Strongly Agree	Agree	Neutral	Disagree	Strongly Disagree
Spatial perception is much clearer and closer to reality in the VR model – compared to the 3D CAD model.

Observing the design via VR-device helps to understand the design better.

The VR observation of space is no help at all.

I can easily orient myself like in the real apartment

I get a good impression of the real apartment and about its atmosphere

Please open the file/app of the LOHAS floor plan with your VR device - Smartphone and VR HMD mount (virtual reality head-mounted display mount) - and put it on. Walk around freely and try to observe and to internalise the whole apartment for maximum 5 minutes. Please walk into every room and look around. We request to use the whole 5 minutes to get comparable results. After the virtual walk through please answer following questions in chronological order:

What is the size of your own apartment?

How much bigger/smaller is your own apartment? (allowed are factors such as “1.5 times bigger” or percentage e.g. 150%)

Further estimations
Please try always to estimate as good as possible the room size/requested dimension. If you do not remember e.g. the requested room or get confused with them please do not answer the question.

What is the room height? (Remark: the whole apartment has the same room height)

What is the size of the bathroom?

What is the size of the kitchen?

What is the size of the bedroom? (consider, that the cabinet belongs to the apartment and has a depth of 58 cm)
