“…MediaMaps was only developed as an adaptive system and no non-adaptive system was developed, due to the nature of the functionality provided. MediaMaps supports three types of adaptation, namely information, visualization (presentation) and interface adaptation [17]. The design and evaluation of MediaMaps are discussed in the following sections.…”

Mobile applications are becoming increasingly widespread and complex. Many of these applications suffer from usability issues, including information overload, screen clutter, lack of task support and limited interaction mechanisms. Adaptive user interfaces (AUIs) have been proposed to address some of these usability issues. The aim of this paper is to investigate how AUIs can improve the usability of mobile applications. This paper discusses several simple types of adaptation that have been shown to yield significant usability benefits for mobile applications. Two case studies are presented to illustrate how an AUI can be incorporated into different types of mobile applications. This paper also discusses the lessons learned from these case studies and presents some implications for designing adaptive systems in the future.

“…For tourist maps, it is important to make them attractive to the user by using an original graphic design [3]. Navigation features such as routes and point symbols should be higher up in the visual hierarchy [4]; however, poorly designed symbols can be difficult for users to interpret, especially considering that such maps usually do not include a legend [5]. Inadequately selected graphics can also overwhelm the user, making a map difficult to use.…”

This study investigated the impact of smartphone usage frequency on the effectiveness and accuracy of symbol location in a variety of spatial contexts on mobile maps using eye-tracking technology while utilizing the example of Mapy.cz. The scanning speed and symbol detection were also considered. The use of mobile applications for navigation is discussed, emphasizing their popularity and convenience of use. The importance of eye tracking as a valuable tool for testing the usability of cartographic products, enabling the assessment of users’ visual strategies and their ability to memorize information, was highlighted. The frequency of smartphone use has been shown to be an important factor in users’ ability to locate symbols in different spatial contexts. Everyday smartphone users have shown higher accuracy and efficiency in image processing, suggesting a potential link between habitual smartphone use and increased efficiency in mapping tasks. Participants who were dissatisfied with the legibility of a map looked longer at the symbols, suggesting that they put extra cognitive effort into decoding the symbols. In the present study, gender differences in pupil size were also observed during the study. Women consistently showed a larger pupil diameter, potentially indicating greater cognitive load on the participants.

“…I found the act of direct asking acceptable by referring to other papers too. An example is a user adaptive map based system [61] which presents automatic location facilities using map visualisation. In this system [61] the initial presentation of the system is based on direct questions and users' behaviours are recorded in order to extract users' preferences in time pass as well.…”

Adaptive Initial Users’ Overview of a Map Visualisation

<p>The ability to customise different aspects of a visualisation system for users is typically lacking in current applications[30]. This results in less immediate and relevant visualisation information to users, as all users are presented with the same overview irrespective of their persona. This thesis proposes a dynamic, adaptive visualisation system that customises the initial view of the visualisation based on the information received from users. This adaptive approach improves the upfront user experience connected with the first stage in Shneiderman’s Information Seeking Mantra ’overview first’[57]. This thesis aims to explore whether and how the users’ interactions in the first four steps of Shneiderman’s tasks [57] can be used to create the appropriate early experience for future users with the same goals or characteristics. The evaluation confirms the possibility of the idea and raises further questions and issues.</p>
