摘      要：Three-dimensional geovisualizations are currently pushed both by technological development and by the demands of experts in various applied *** the presented empirical study,we compared the features of real 3D(stereoscopic)versus pseudo 3D(monoscopic)geovisualizations in static and interactive digital elevation *** tested 39 high-school students in their ability to identify the correct terrain profile from digital elevation ***’performance was recorded and further analysed with respect to their spatial abilities,which were measured by a psychological mental rotation test and think aloud *** results of the study indicated that the influence of the type of 3D visualization(monoscopic/stereoscopic)on the performance of the users is not clear,the level of navigational interactivity has significant influence on the usability of a particular 3D visualization,and finally no influences of the spatial abilities on the performance of the user within the 3D environment were identified.
