A test space for virtual rotation measurement in MaxWhere

This demo presents a virtual reality test space, which is part of a test battery that is now under development as a part of an aptitude test and skill development project to support human resource assessment. The test space focuses on subjects' ability to both internally visualize and to manipulate the spatial orientation of a 3D cube with specific, configurable parts missing.

I. Introduction

The testing of spatial cognitive abilities in virtual reality has decades of literature. Spatial ability can be understood in some sense as the ability to generate, retain, retrieve, and transform well-structured visual images in three dimensions. However, the concept of spatial ability is not a unitary construct [1]. The space presented here (Fig. 1) is intended as a test framework for virtual rotation related spatial skills. Fig. 1.
