Evaluating advanced interaction techniques for navigating Google Earth
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the design and comparison of a mousebased interaction technique (hereafter IT) and two advanced IT, used in public spaces to support navigation in a 3D space. The comparison is based on a composite evaluation, including performance and satisfaction aspects. These preliminary results demonstrate that the use of mixed IT in a public space do not result in more differences among user than a mouse-based IT. It also highlights the fact that performance and satisfaction have to be considered simultaneously since they appear to be two complementary aspects of an evaluation, especially in public space environment, where the performance is no longer the only dimension to consider.

The Exploration of Large Image Spaces by Gaze Control
We describe methods for navigating large variable resolution images primarily using eye gaze control. In many professions a user’s task involves inspecting very large image spaces at a level of granularity ranging from an overview mode to study of fine detail. Such images are becoming commonplace, for instance: maps (e.g. Google Maps), earth imaging (Google Earth, NASA World Wind1), surveillanc...
متن کاملGesture Viewport: Interacting with Media Content Using Finger Gestures on Any Surface
In this paper, we describe Gesture Viewport, a projectorcamera system that enables finger gesture interactions with media content on any surface. We propose a novel and computationally very efficient finger localization method based on the detection of occlusion patterns inside a virtual sensor grid rendered in a layer on top of a viewport widget. We develop several robust interaction technique...

Timely and accurate change detection of earth surface features is extremely important for understanding relationships and interaction between human and natural phenomena in order to promote better decision making. Remote sensing data are primary sources extensively used for change detection in recent decades. In this study, images of Landsat (TM) 1985 and Landsat (ETM+) 2007 were analyzed using...
متن کاملExploratory spatio-temporal data mining and visualization
Spatio-temporal data sets are often very large and difficult to analyze and display. Since they are fundamental for decision support in many application contexts, recently a lot of interest has arisen toward data-mining techniques to filter out relevant subsets of very large data repositories as well as visualization tools to effectively display the results. In this paper we propose a data-mini...
متن کاملWeb GIS in practice X: a Microsoft Kinect natural user interface for Google Earth navigation
This paper covers the use of depth sensors such as Microsoft Kinect and ASUS Xtion to provide a natural user interface (NUI) for controlling 3-D (three-dimensional) virtual globes such as Google Earth (including its Street View mode), Bing Maps 3D, and NASA World Wind. The paper introduces the Microsoft Kinect device, briefly describing how it works (the underlying technology by PrimeSense), as...
