A Multimodal Locomotion User Interface for Immersive Geospatial Information Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new multimodal locomotion user interface that enables users to travel through 3D environments displayed in geospatial information systems (GISs), e.g., Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth. When using the proposed interface the geospatial data can be explored immersively using stereoscopic visualization on a head-mounted display (HMD). When using certain tracking approaches the entire body can be tracked in order to support natural traveling by real walking. Moreover, intuitive devices are provided for both-handed interaction such as gestures to complete the navigation process. We introduce the setup as well as associated interaction concepts.

Approaching a New Multimodal GIS-Interface
Geospatial information is used in emergency management centers, architectural bureaus, environmental protection offices and daily life. Not only are trained experts using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) but novices, e.g. government employees, rescue workers and the general public, also use GIS. Despite the success of various GIS applications, their current use and usability is still constr...

Introduction: The e-prescribing system is one of the basic technologies in the health system structure which was developed with the aim of properly managing healthcare resources and services, preventing common manual prescribing errors, and increasing patient safety. Given that the user interface of e-prescribing system is considered as the main factor of user acceptance, the purpose of the pre...
متن کاملImmersive Audio HMI to Improve Situational Awareness
Humans’ are multimodal beings that perceive their environment with all their senses, which allows them to create situational awareness (van Laack, 2014). For driver vehicle interaction the idea of multimodality has been neglected in the past and displays became the most common information output in a cockpit. To handle the significant increase of traffic complexity and information availability ...
متن کاملGesture and Speech-Based Maps to Support Use of GIS for Crisis Management: A User Study
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have the potential to provide critical support during crisis situations. Unfortunately, most GIS require expert knowledge to operate and do not support collaboration between decision makers. A human-centered systems approach was used to develop the prototype of a multimodal, dialog-assisted visual environment for geoinformation (DAVE_G) that will support col...
