“…Analytical strategy is formal and batch-oriented, while browsing strategy is informal, opportunistic and interactive. Jul and Furnas [3] describe searching as information seeking task to look for a known object, while browsing is to see what is available. Inline with the above definition, Choo et al [4] stated that fact-finding mission is classified as formal search, signified by deliberate or planned efforts to find specific items.…”

AbstrakPencarian informasi merupakan salah satu aktifitas utama ketika menggunakan internet bagi para tempat pencari informasi untuk mendapatkan manfaat dengan membayar biaya tertentu. Secara umum, pencari 'plan-group' and 'unplan-group'. Both groups were given certain tasks related to information search. The experiment was followed by a post experiment survey. The result shows that respondents who were in the 'plan-group' perceived less benefit and incurred more cost compared to those in the 'unplan-group'. The future research is proposed at the end of this manuscript.

“…Navigation: people need to know what is within their environment (physical world, electronic world, or Virtual). Good information and program design might provide such support and provide new means of navigating [34]. This study assumed that these characteristics have a significant effect on the user satisfaction of the mobile e-book applications.…”

Abstract. Evaluation for mobile e-book applications are limited and did not address all the important usability measurements. Hence, this study aimed to identify the characteristics that affect user satisfaction on the usability of mobile e-book applications. Five characteristics that have a significant effect on the user satisfaction of mobile e-book applications have been identified namely readability, effectiveness, accessibility, efficiency, and navigation. A usability evaluation was conducted on three mobile e-book applications namely Adobe Acrobat Reader, Ebook Reader, and Amazon Kindle. 30 students from Universiti Utara Malaysia evaluated the mobile e-book applications and their satisfaction was measured using questionnaire. The outcomes discovered that the five characteristics have a significant positive relationship with user satisfaction. This provides insights into the main characteristics that increase user satisfaction.

“…It has been found that spatial cognition in virtual environments is similar to that in the real world (Ruddle et al 1997;Wilson et al 1997;Witmer et al 1996). Theories on virtual navigation (Darken and Sibert 1996;Jul and Furnas 1997;Chen and Stanney 1999) suggested that navigation in a virtual environment could be a multiple-level process, similar to a person's behavior in the real world (Loomis and Beall 1998;Timpf and Kuhn 2003). Such similarities lead to the direct applications of design principles for real-world navigation support in virtual environments.…”

M2S maps: supporting real-world navigation with mobile VR

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.
