“…Secondly, introduced in 2000, Deep Map (Malaka and Zipf, 2000) is a research framework of a tourist information system which aimed to build a mobile solution offering a trip planner and a city navigator, and which would consider the user preferences and needs, and some contextual information such as weather conditions or traffic, providing an accessible interface for untrained users. Deep Map core component is the Geographical Information System (GIS), which is in charge of managing the location information, relating it to the user needs.…”

Abstract:This paper proposes the design of a general-purpose domain-independent knowledge model formalizing and managing the circumstantial knowledge involved in the human interaction process, i.e., a Situation Model. Its design is aimed to be embodied into a human-like interaction system, thus enriching the quality of the interaction by providing context-aware features to the interaction system. The proposal differs from similar work in that it is supported by the spatio-temporal databases technology. Additionally, since the proposed model requires to be fed with real knowledge obtained from each specific interaction domain, this paper also proposes an edition tool for acquiring and managing that circumstantial knowledge. The tool also supports the simulation over the model to check the correctness and completeness of the acquired knowledge. Finally, some scenario examples are provided in order to illustrate how the Situation Model works, and to gain perspective on its future possibilities of application in different systems where context-aware services can make a difference.

“…al. 2000, Malaka and Zipf 2000 or commercial systems like the "Mobile Travel Guide" (Moltomedia 2006) or the BUGAButler (Blis 2006), only to mention some of them). One drawback of these systems is that they do not have an explicit pedagogic background or a special learning focus for the information that they deliver, whereas presentations for e-Learning systems have exactly this focus.…”

Abstract:Much information is inherently coupled with a certain place. Accessing this information at the given place is often the key to understand it or at least it helps understanding the information much better than accessing it elsewhere. e-Learning systems free the learners from the chains of time and place. However they are normally used with PCs or laptop computers either at home or at certain premises. Especially in a city like Trier, which is full of history, it is easy to verify that learning about the Romans and seeing a picture of a historic site is different to the real world experience of this site. This reflection leads us to the idea to extend the capabilities of a conventional E-learning system in a way that information can be accessed where it can be understood more easily, i.e. on its place. Therefore we have extended the system MOVII (Moving Images and Interfaces), which is a flexible and visually appealing E-learning Platform with a possibility to geocode information entities and to access them appropriately.

“…Mobile devices have been used to enhance the presentation of different kinds of spatial information, such as landmarks (Sefelin et al 2005;Goodman et al 2004;May et al 2003), route information (Kray et al 2003;Narzt et al 2003;Malaka and Zipf 2000), as well as maps. However, these designs usually focus on just one particular type of spatial information, and do not consider their integration, which is important to the construction of cognitive maps.…”

Mobile devices are becoming increasingly integrated into our society. In addition to entertaining people with applications like pervasive games, mobile devices can also help to address cognitive challenges people face in the real world. This paper, by drawing on research findings from cognitive psychology and geography, explores a design to use mobile VR to help people overcome one cognitive barrier in navigation, which is to establish the correspondence between 2D spatial information found in maps and 3D entities they perceive from the real world. The design offers users multi-format, multi-scale, and semantic (M 2 S) maps, ranging from 2D maps to 3D immersive environments, and helps users to connect 2D maps to the real world through 3D environments which are equipped with semantic representation and animation techniques. Consequently, users can apply various kinds of spatial knowledge, 2D or 3D, in understanding the real world as well as assisting in navigation. This research enhances the design repertoire of mobile VR, and suggests a way to integrate virtual environments into people's real-world life by examining the cognitive implications of 3D models on users' activities.
