Wigglestick: An Urban Pedestrian Mobile Social Navigation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The following paper examines ongoing work on Wigglestick, a mobile way-finding service for the urban pedestrian. It enables users to tag media at specific spots, make their location visible to approved friends, and find their way to desired places. Its usage of the divining rod as a metaphor for the development of the mobile application has encouraged a minimal abstracted visualization approach and a social navigation system based on user-generated location tags.

A Multithreaded Conversational Interface for Pedestrian Navigation and Question Answering
We demonstrate a conversational interface that assists pedestrian users in navigating within urban environments and acquiring tourist information by combining spoken dialogue system, question-answering (QA), and geographic information system (GIS) technologies. In contrast to existing mobile applications which treat these problems independently, our Android agent addresses the problem of naviga...

Haptics is a feedback technology that takes advantage of the human sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions to a haptic-enabled user device such as a mobile phone. Historically, human–computer interaction has been visual, data, or images on a screen. Haptic feedback can be an important modality in Mobile Location-Based Services like – knowledge discovery, pedestrian navigat...
متن کاملAutonomous Robot Navigation in Highly Populated Pedestrian Zones
In the past, there has been a tremendous progress in the area of autonomous robot navigation and a large variety of robots have been developed who demonstrated robust navigation capabilities indoors, in non-urban outdoor environments, or on roads and relatively few approaches focus on navigation in urban environments such as city centers. Urban areas, however, introduce numerous challenges for ...
متن کاملNavigating within the urban environment using Location and Orientation-based Services
Up to now most attempts to develop pedestrian navigation tools for the urban environment have used GPS technologies to display position on two-dimensional digital maps (as in the classic 'satnav' systems on the market). Although GPS is the key technology for location-based services (LBS), it cannot currently meet all the requirements for navigation in urban environments. Specifically, GPS techn...
