“…These results confirmed a comparative outdoor study by (Frohlich et al, 2006) that tested conceptual designs for 4 interaction areas considered important for spatial information applications (SIA). In addition, the information Pull technique, where the user decides what information to view and has control over it (Persson et al, 2002;Strachan and Murray-Smith, 2009;Strachan et al, 2007) was the most intuitive and preferred data interaction approach by users. Whereas the Push technique, where all information is automatically presented to the user, is not easily managed on constrained mobile devices.…”

Abstract. This paper describes research carried out in the area of mobile spatial interaction and the development of a mobile (i.e. on-device) version of a simulated web-based 2D directional query processor. The TellMe application integrates location (from GPS, GSM, WiFi) and orientation (from digital compass/tilt sensors) sensing technologies into an enhanced spatial query processing module capable of exploiting a mobile device's position and orientation for querying real-world 3D spatial datasets. This paper outlines the technique used to combine these technologies and the architecture needed to deploy them on a sensor enabled smartphone (i.e. Nokia 6210 Navigator). With all these sensor technologies now available on one device, it is possible to employ a personal query system that can work effectively in any environment using location and orientation as primary parameters for directional queries. In doing so, novel approaches for determining a user's query space in 3 dimensions based on line-of-sight and 3D visibility (ego-visibility) are also investigated. The result is a mobile application that is location, direction and orientation aware and using these data is able to identify objects (e.g. buildings, points-of-interest, etc.) by pointing at them or when they are in a specified field-of-view.

“…interaction with information and navigation, especially in confined environments like museums and historical areas Jeng 2005;Nomura andKishimoto 2005, Shen andTeng 2005), but no architectural guides as primary products. Interest in guided navigation with information feedback has been higher in other fields, with emphasis mostly on general computational and cognitive issues (Abowd et al 1997;Cheverst et al 2000;Persson et al 2002).…”

Abstract.A mobile architectural guide assists architectural tourists in selecting, navigating to and recognizing architectural sights. The guide supports such tasks by means of domain knowledge, design documentation and contextual information organized into navigation modules, architectural information systems and learning modules. Visiting ArchitectureModern information and communication technologies support access to all kinds of information from virtually any place in several continents. Access to online information is no longer restricted to conventional computing devices: mobile telephones and other lightweight wireless devices are becoming increasingly popular for information processing on the road or in the field. Despite the obvious limitations of screen size, processing and storage capacity, such devices are generally capable of supporting interaction with the majority of documents used in professional settings. The current focus in mobile information processing seems firmly fixed on 'social' applications but there is a discernible increase in more conventional professional applications (Kaga et al. 2006;Matsumoto et al. 2001;Tedrumpun and Nakapan 2004;Wang and Shih 2002) -even if it may have come rather late, as we can judge from the recent stagnation in the development of palmtop hardware and software. Somewhere in between social and professional applications we encounter informative and educational applications which make use of professional information for non-professional purposes and use technologies marketed for personal entertainment and communication.Digital architectural guides are an example of such applications. Even though copyright issues form obstacles of increasing magnitude and complexity, there has been substantial even though unsystematic digitization of information on architecturally important buildings. Online resources concentrate mostly on visual documentation (scanned drawings, photographs, three-dimensional models), while only a few have been

“…We are clearly interested in spatial messaging in general, where users also post information. Three academic projects, EGraffiti [3], GeoNotes [4] and ActiveCampus Explorer [5], as well as a commercial application, SmartSpeed [6], would deserve to be described here. But since this is already done in another paper (in this collection of papers) we direct the interested reader to [15].…”

Abstract. Spatial messaging is a term that defines the virtual publication of data in physical places. Anyone in the neighborhood of such a publication point gets the message. Architectures allowing users to publish freely spatial messages already exist. However, experiences realized with volunteers showed that there is only little interest in posting such notes. To our view, the main reason is that there is currently no trust mechanism which informs about the reliability of the messages, thus preventing any serious application. Filling this gap will promote the success of spatial messaging, and the growing success of localization and mobile techniques will provide a good support for this concept. After a general presentation conducted by hypothetical scenarios to show the potential impact of spatial messaging, we will discuss how to build a trust model, and propose a first move to a concrete architecture.
