Evaluation of Augmented Reality Systems for the Enhancement of Voluntary Geographic Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) describes the volunteering of geographic information by users of systems that enhance their ability to produce data. Web 2.0 and mobile technologies enhanced the adoption of VGI. Similarly emerging technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) may further enhance VGI. AR may provide a novel means for enhancing VGI and the types of contributions users are able to make. To explore this, a literature review is provided that examines both VGI and AR. Factors that may contribute to the adoption of VGI are identified along with ways AR may enhance VGI. These factors are then examined in commercial AR applications and the results are presented. An additional pilot study is also performed to gauge user perceptions of VGI in AR. The results suggest that while progress is being made in AR that may enhance VGI, current AR systems still do not take advantage of their full potential.
