Abstract

Understanding the process of spatial perception plays a significant role in the design process as well as in the use of actual spaces. The perception of spatial depth can vary according to the space composition and design even there is no change in the actual size of the space. The properties of 3-dimensional space are its width, height, and depth; however, compared to the perception of spatial width and height, little research and theories exist on spatial depth perception. The reasons may be there less interest lies in the effect of spatial depth perception than that of spaciousness or height of space. This study is an investigation of the process of spatial depth perception using an eye-tracking device with stimuli developed through Computer Graphics. A total of 44 interior design major students participated in the eye tracking experiment; and they looked at three images comprised of an identical room with only changes in the rear wall condition. The results show that a significant difference in the fixation duration per stimulus exists. In addition, a significant difference exists on the fixation duration per stimulus according to the participants' answer of the deepest space. The result of this study can help identify factors for spatial depth perception, validate the assumption on it, and provide knowledge on how to acquire desirable spatial depth by utilizing the research result.

디자인 과정과 실제 공간을 사용함에 있어 공간감을 이해하는 것이 매우 중요한 역할을 하는데, 동일한 공간이라도 어떻게 디자인하느냐에 따라 공간의 깊이감에 대한 지각이 달라질 수 있다. 공간의 3차원적인 속성인 넓이, 깊이, 높이 중 넓이와 높이감에 대한 이론과 연구들에 비해 깊이감에 대한 이론이나 연구는 상대적으로 적은데 이는 넓이나 높이에 비해 공간의 깊이감이 초래하는 효과에 대한 관심이 부족했던 원인으로 보인다. 본 연구는 Computer Graphic으로 제작한 실내공간을 대상으로 시선추적장치를 이용하여 깊이감에 대한 지각과정을 이해하고자 하였다. 44명의 실내디자인 전공 학생들이 실험에 참가하여 마주보이는 벽면에 깊이감을 자극하는 구성요소를 달리한 3개의 이미지를 보며 가장 깊어보이는 공간을 탐색하였다. 그 결과 3개의 이미지간에 주시시간의 차이가 나타났고, 가장 깊어 보이는 공간에 대한 응답에 따라서도 주의집중에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 발견되었다. 본 연구는 깊이감에 영향을 끼치는 요인과 기존 정설에 대한 정량적인 타당성을 제시하고, 이상적인 공간의 깊이감을 얻을 수 있는 디자인 방법 개발 등에 도움이 될 것으로 본다.
