“…In an evaluation of alternative methods of presenting route instructions on mobile devices, Kray et al (2003) revealed that in order to find their current location on a 2D map, users often found that a 3D view was useful in identifying their location in the real world. This study also confirmed a finding of several other studies, which is that although the 3D display did not improve task performance, it was found to be 'fun' to use.…”

“…These include linguistic (text and verbal), map, sketch, tactile and augmented-reality representations [31,41]. Due to their ubiquity, linguistic representations are by far the most commonly studied.…”

“…Registering a route to a street network can simplify the problem of converting to an alternative representation. To demonstrate this we propose a simple algorithm which converts a route registered to a street network to a set of turn-by-turn instructions; specifically, the set of turn-by-turn instructions generated are path relations [31].…”

Providing an adequate route description requires in-depth spatial knowledge of the route in question. In this article we demonstrate that despite having travelled a route recently and having much experience of the area in question, an individual may lack such a degree of knowledge. Previous research and experience informs us that a map is an effective tool for bridging gaps in one's spatial knowledge. In this article we propose an approach, known as an Interactive Route Description, for defining and interpreting route descriptions interactively with a map. This approach is based on the concept of annotating the map in question and allows the aforementioned gap in one's spatial knowledge to be bridged. An additional benefit of defining route descriptions in this way is that it facilitates automatic parsing and in turn offers many potential applications. One such application, illustrated in this paper, is the automatic transformation to other representations of the description such as turn-by-turn instructions.

“…Mobile devices have been used to enhance the presentation of different kinds of spatial information, such as landmarks (Sefelin et al 2005;Goodman et al 2004;May et al 2003), route information (Kray et al 2003;Narzt et al 2003;Malaka and Zipf 2000), as well as maps. However, these designs usually focus on just one particular type of spatial information, and do not consider their integration, which is important to the construction of cognitive maps.…”

Mobile devices are becoming increasingly integrated into our society. In addition to entertaining people with applications like pervasive games, mobile devices can also help to address cognitive challenges people face in the real world. This paper, by drawing on research findings from cognitive psychology and geography, explores a design to use mobile VR to help people overcome one cognitive barrier in navigation, which is to establish the correspondence between 2D spatial information found in maps and 3D entities they perceive from the real world. The design offers users multi-format, multi-scale, and semantic (M 2 S) maps, ranging from 2D maps to 3D immersive environments, and helps users to connect 2D maps to the real world through 3D environments which are equipped with semantic representation and animation techniques. Consequently, users can apply various kinds of spatial knowledge, 2D or 3D, in understanding the real world as well as assisting in navigation. This research enhances the design repertoire of mobile VR, and suggests a way to integrate virtual environments into people's real-world life by examining the cognitive implications of 3D models on users' activities.
