“…Our interdisciplinary organization team consists of 6 diverse international researchers from France, Israel, Germany, UK, and Slovenia. In addition, an industry partner from Balmore Group's Aerial Services division 1 confirmed their participation in the workshop. 1 https://balmoremedia.co.uk/ Anke Brock is an Assistant Professor at ENAC in Toulouse, France.…”

“…This rapid growth is both exciting and frightening. On the one hand, drones are presenting new opportunities, with applications ranging from entertainment (Figures 2 and 3) to delivery, supporting people with special needs [1] (Figure 4), sports [12], pedestrian guidance [5], agriculture, and even search-and-rescue. On the other hand, many negative issues are arising around the adoption of drones and what it means to have them in our environments.…”

“…Interestingly, these are some of the main issues tackled in this work. Prior works have investigated drones used in daily activities, e.g., jogging [32], navigational aid [2,25], tour guide [5,7], for dance performance [12,22], and even games [24]. Wojciechowska et al [38] recently presented a model of perception based on drones' physical properties.…”

“…We decided to focus on drones because they represent an underexplored area compared to ground robots and present additional safety challenges that require more thoughtful design. As a first step, this paper focuses on map interaction for selecting POIs for a guided tour (scenario 1), and not on following a drone that is moving along the tour path [25], or projecting arrows on the floor [24], or even using its noise or a leash to guide visually impaired users [2]. This paper proposes a first investigation into suitable interaction techniques for map exploration from a drone.…”

“…In our current studies, we have investigated map interaction as a first and necessary step of a drone-based navigation aid. Other researchers have investigated how a drone could be used to guide people along a path [2,22] or by following arrows [24]. In our future work we intend to continue in the field of designing navigational aids such as studying which navigational cues (e.g., arrows, distances, or information about obstacles) should be projected to the user, how, and when.…”
