Abstract
This study focuses on the development of a Virtual Environment application that interacts with a haptic device, to analyze the human process of learning 3 D shapes. The levels a person goes through in this learning process are established based on the Model of Hierarchical Complexity, translated into questions, and tested with a sample of users. The obtained results validate and demonstrate an increase in hierarchical complexity along the questions/stages and validate the Model, with most users following the concept that for a person to accomplish a higher hierarchical task, must be able to accomplish all the lower ones.
