“…However, the study of mental satisfaction has been ignored in some cases. Some research focused on satisfaction during navigation; for instance, there are studies utilizing NASA-TLX [34] and user experience questionnaires [35] to measure perceived workload in pedestrian navigation tasks [36][37][38].…”

The development of ubiquitous computing technology and the emergence of XR could provide pedestrian navigation with more options for user interfaces and interactions. In this work, we aim investigate the role of a mixed-reality map interface in urban exploration to enhance pedestrians’ mental satisfaction. We propose a mixed-reality 3D minimap as a part of the navigation interface which pedestrians could refer to and interact during urban exploration. To further explore the different levels of detail of the map interface, we conducted a user study (n = 28, two groups with two tasks). We designed two exploratory activities as experimental tasks with two map modes (a normal one and a simplified one) to discuss the detailed design of the minimap interface. The results indicated that participants showed a positive attitude toward our method. The simplified map mode could result in a lower perceived workload in both tasks while enhancing performance in specific navigation, such as wayfinding. However, we also found that pedestrians’ preference for the level of detail of the minimap interface is dynamic in navigation. Thus, we suggest discussing the different levels of detail further in specific scenarios. Finally, we also summarize some findings observed during user study for inspiring the study of virtual map interface of future mixed-reality navigation for urban exploration in various scenarios.

“…In addition, following a user‐centered design (UCD) can improve the usability of pedestrian navigation systems (Delikostidis et al., 2016; Perebner, Huang, & Gartner, 2019). The concept of adaptive visualization is similar to that of UCD.…”

Landmark‐based pedestrian navigation can assist pedestrians in navigating successfully. Previous studies have investigated the factors affecting the cognitive efficiency of landmark visualization in terms of both the visual salience of landmarks and the personal characteristics of users. However, empirical studies and applications that consider the influence of spatial familiarity on landmark representation are limited. In this article, we propose a personalized landmark adaptive visualization method for pedestrian navigation maps considering user familiarity. We first explore the influence of spatial familiarity on landmark salience and symbols using cognitive experiments. The results showed that unfamiliar people preferred strong visual salience landmarks and image‐based symbols, while familiar people preferred strong semantic salience landmarks and text‐based symbols. Based on these results, a mathematical model of landmark salience for selecting personalized landmarks is proposed, and association rules between landmark salience and symbols are mined. Finally, the framework of a landmark visualization method is proposed based on the rules. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, a prototype system is developed, and a comparative experiment is conducted with a Baidu map. Experimental results showed that the proposed method has direct practical implications for the development of pedestrian navigation systems, depending on different target users.

Location-aware systems or location-based services: a survey with applications to CoViD-19 contact tracking

With the CoViD-19 pandemic, location awareness technologies have seen renewed interests due to the numerous contact tracking mobile application variants developed, deployed, and discussed. For some, location-aware applications are primarily a producer of geospatial Big Data required for vital geospatial analysis and visualization of the spread of the disease in a state of emergency. For others, comprehensive tracking of citizens constitutes a dangerous violation of fundamental rights. Commercial web-based location-aware applications both collect data and—through spatial analysis and connection to services—provide value to users. This value is what motivates users to share increasingly private and comprehensive data. The willingness of users to share data in return for services has been a key concern with web-based variants of the technology since the beginning. With a focus on two privacy preserving CoViD-19 contact tracking applications, this survey walks through the key steps of developing a privacy preserving context-aware application: from types of applications and business models, through architectures and privacy strategies, to representations.
