Mobile phones are starting to become the major platform for interaction with spatial information. Recent research has yielded promising applications and approaches for exploring, accessing and augmenting information related to the user's immediate surroundings. The CHI workshop "Mobile Spatial Interaction" (MSI) aims at gathering researchers working on this emerging and multifaceted, but quickly evolving topic. A forum for open dialogue is needed to enable researchers to obtain a picture of the facets and the benefits of mobile spatial interaction as well as its challenges. Potential ways to combine the various approaches will be examined and discussed.
Technology has often been utilized to address the needs of specific communities. Understanding how technology could be incorporated into solutions for sustainable tourism is a particularly interesting design challenge.
