Research
Exploring the Impact of Visual Perception on User Experience in Entertainment Spaces.
Using a mixed method research strategy, the variables; ceiling height, lighting and materials, were studied to see how they affect visual experience/comfort. This was achieved via a series of 3D render images, with a series of questions asked to participants using the Likert scale method, to produce graphical data of the findings. To conclude, visual perception is a core factor in architectural design. The parameters we studied showed to be of great value when creating a successful fine dining space. Moving away from this research, I discovered how a nice view can speak volumes and the design should work with and around its surroundings in order to be classified as a positive user experience.
