Abstract: In order to improve the space sharing efficiency between the internal and external groups during the crisis rescue process, two kinds of spatial information interfaces are designed by combining the dynamic building structure change of building fire with the cognitive representation of human spatial information and the interaction of spatial information: static orientation information consistent interface, dynamic orientation information consistent information interface; cognitive style consistent information interface, to explore the impact of orientation information on way-finding performance. The Unity3D software is used to simulate the actual dynamic space environment and to analyze the way-finding behavior of internal personnel in the virtual environment, and the interaction between the inside and outside of the building is recorded through video and interview. The results show that: 1) the way-finding time and travelling distance are shorter with the static information interface, and there are fewer errors in paths in the path-finding process, but the interaction behavior is more frequent; 2) with the dynamic information interface, the path-finding time and path are longer, and the interaction behavior is less in the way-finding process, but the error paths are more.
