“…Especially, video and computer games were identified as valuable sources to analyze and improve animation and interaction techniques in multimedia cartography (Coulton et al 2017;Dickmann 2016, 2017;Ahlqvist 2011;Lammes 2008). The discussions on the impact of games on cartographic visualization are currently influenced by rising opportunities to create environments in (immersive) virtual reality (VR) (e.g., Boletsis 2017;Büyüksalih et al 2020;Hruby et al 2019;Edler et al 2019a;Tschirschwitz et al 2019;Vetter 2019;Walmsley and Kersten 2020;Zhao et al 2019) and augmented reality (AR) (e.g., Çöltekin et al 2019;de Almeida Pereira et al 2017;Keil et al 2020;Lindner et al 2019;Werner 2019).…”

Maps and map-like visualizations in digital games have been repeatedly addressed in research of cartography and related disciplines. For example, visualization techniques and tools used in video and computer games, including navigation and locomotion tools in VR gaming, have been analyzed and adopted to VR-based 3D cartographic modeling in recent time. A successful and diversified game which has only hardly been considered in the literature so far is pinball. Modern pinball machines are equipped with sophisticated map-like playfields (and other related components) that allow pinball players to immerse into a rapidly changing spatial story which is directed by the pinball movement. The (endless) game of skill is cognitively challenging and it sometimes even 'plays with' overloading the cognitive capacity of players by activating a multitude of multisensory (spatial) events. An overloaded communication of spatial information is apparently part of the success story of the game. The successful story of pinball also includes several characteristic themes that seem to fascinate the worldwide community of players (and retro fans). These themes, including their map-like visualizations, invite players to be involved into the rapid spatial story, and they include many 'triggers' for the individual and social construction of landscapes. These landscapes can fulfill desires for escapism. This article presents characteristic examples of successful and established modern pinball themes and discusses their potentials for landscape construction, from a social constructivist perspective.

“…A scaled referent has been used to display non realistic visualizations as well, by using papers maps (de Almeida Pereira et al, 2017, Morrison et al, 2009, Wiehr et al, 2017 or tangible models (Mitasova et al, 2006). In this case, the physical referent is the scaled model, and the geographical referent the place the scale model represents.…”

“…Paper maps can be augmented with 3D data such as an elevation model and population data (de Almeida Pereira et al, 2017) or 2D data such as points of interest (Morrison et al, 2009). In the latter case, the map is used as navigation aid in proximity to the geographical location, thus the geographical indirection is smaller than in the other examples, as depicted in Figure 3.…”

Abstract. Augmented reality (AR) enables to display situated geographical visualizations, i.e visualizations that use virtual elements that are displayed in a geographical location. The place where the data is displayed complements the visualization. Many applications that take advantage of AR and situated visualizations exist, but they differ in the visualizations they present, their relationship to the geographic locations and goals. To better understand why and how AR based situated geovisualization is used, we review 45 papers coming from Human Computer Interaction, Visualization and Geographical Information Science venues that present such applications. Inspired by existing classifications, we characterize these papers according to the data they visualize and the geographical distance between the visualization and the data the visualization represents. This analysis reveals existing opportunities for situated geovisualization applications using AR.

“…On the other side, research experiments proved that experience and qualification of map users matter. Those that had previous experience of the spatial data handled the tasks better using only the printed maps, contrary to those less experienced, who smartly and more efficiently used AR [35]. Some other researchers indicated the importance of affordances (theory and concept of assets and possibilities perceived, developed in psychology), which users can perceive in real and virtual worlds [36].…”

Augmented reality (AR) combines information from databases with information derived directly through the human senses or different sensors. AR is the organic, real-time, and dynamically overlaying virtual images created by computers and other information on a real environment that the observer can see. Virtual information changes according to the movement of the observer, as if that virtual information truly exists in the real world. The convergence of geographic information systems (GIS), web mapping, mobile technology, and augmented reality (AR) implies the emergence of location based systems (LBS) and, in turn, the diminishing use of traditional analog maps by smartphone users. The focus and review of current achievements in this subject on the wider trends of the use of AR also prove that coding of some data and metadata on an image or a map (both in digital and analogue form) permits inter alia the inclusion of, for example, a paper map or analogue image into the chain of digital devices use. Some solutions, remarks, and comments concerning functioning of the digitally augmented (printed) map and their digital counterparts within the information society are presented.
