Abstract

In this submission the concept of Emotional Wayfinding is analysed. It is anticipated, that the emotional relation and the degree of emotional response is structuring space and can therefore be relevant for human wayfinding. Possible measures for linking explicit links between person’s memory/experience/emotional response with the physical environment are investigated and possible applications for navigation systems are discussed.
