During the discovery of any new environment-be it real or virtual-the first step is usually that of exploration. The goal exploration in this context is to find the location that provides the most informative, or otherwise useful viewpoint in the space. Depending on the complexity of the space and the task at hand, this can be a difficult challenge. Nevertheless, the finding of useful viewpoints can be facilitated, at least in virtual reality, by changing the layout of the space, as well as by changing other visual features to lower the cognitive load of navigation. In this paper, we present a set of experiments using the MaxWhere desktop virtual environment which suggest that besides the arrangement of a space, its key points of discovery can also influence the time it takes to accomplish a task. This conclusion is supported both by data on key points of navigation and on the activation mode that was utilized on the various smartboards laid out in 3D space. In this research, we hope to show how specific nodes can be found, based on a data-oriented approach, which can lead users to focus on the most important information and obtain the best overview of any virtual space in general.
