MichalGath/Strategic Visibility and Human Wayfinding in Multilevel Buildings: Extended Dataset

We introduce an expanded dataset derived from a previous study [1,2], aimed at investigating various hypotheses regarding the impact of visibility and background expectation on human wayfinding behavior in multilevel buildings. This enhanced dataset comprises 890 records (rows) and 53 variables (columns). This derivative dataset incorporates newly derived variables resulting from advanced post-processing analyses. The research employing this dataset is detailed in the publication titled "The role of strategic visibility in shaping wayfinding behavior in multilevel buildings", accessible via DOI 10.1038/s41598-024-53420-6 [3].
