A Tangible Augmented Reality Interface to Tiled Street Maps and its Usability Testing

Evaluating visual search performance with a multi layer display

“…al. [4] replicated Nakayama and Silverman's findings of efficient search performance for a depth and colour conjunction search. De la Rosa et al [2] investigated perceptual grouping in conjunction searches and compared search performance of conjunctive searches (stereoscopic depth and colour) using two different search displays (consisting of two or six depth planes).…”

A critical evaluation of location based services and their potential

“…By contrast Pingel and Clarke (2005) found users indifferent to 2D and 3D map display in their Geographic Referenced Graphic Environment (GEORGE) system using a HMD around the UC Santa Barbara campus. Moore (2006) developed a tangible AR application for browsing street map book pages in which the user rotates a cube as a substitute for finding the right page transition. Narzt et al (2006) suggested that the ubiquitous computing requirements of AR make the car the best focus for AR-oriented LBS.…”

Geographic information science

“…New forms of tangible user interface have also been developed to facilitate geovisualization. Moore (2006) developed a tangible augmented reality street map (TASM) in which the user could rotate a physical cube in view of a digital video camera to generate the instructions to the device to move automatically across the map on a display. A number of usability problems emerged during heuristic evaluation, notably when the cube moved in and out of camera view and generated incorrect following tiles.…”
