Evaluating Social Navigation Visualization in Online Geographic Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Social navigation enables emergent collaboration between independent collaborators by exposing the behavior of each individual. This is a powerful idea for web-based visualization, where the work of one user can inform other users interacting with the same visualization. We present results from a crowdsourced user study evaluating the value of such social navigation cues for a geographic map service. Our results show significantly improved performance for participants who interacted with the map when the visual footprints of previous users were visible.

Dynamic Maps as Composite Views of Varied Geographic Database Servers
This paper presents new style maps, called dynamic maps, based on view functions of geographic databases. The dynamic maps contain two basic components, (1) queries applied to geographic databases and (2) visualization methods for data derived by the queries. There are three major factors to change the content of dynamic maps, (1) data (unlike conventional geographic systems, we assume that up-...
متن کامل3D Visualization and Evaluation of Remote Sensing Data
The parallel evaluation of remote sensing data from multiple sensors is complicated by different image scales and orientations. Thus a simultaneous visualization of the multi-sensor data is envisaged. For a spatial impression of the observed area the images are co-registered, projected onto a 3D terrain model and displayed stereoscopically. The presented 3D evaluation system allows the real-tim...
متن کاملViewing Abstract Data as Maps
From telecommunications and abstractions of the Internet to interconnections of medical papers to on-line social networks, technology has spawned an explosion of data in the form of large attributed graphs and networks. Visualization often serves as an essential first step in understanding such data, when little is known. Unfortunately, visualizing large graphs presents its own set of problems,...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Volunteered Geographic Information: A Prototype of a Social Virtual Globe
The dawn of GeoWeb 2.0, the geographic extension of Web 2.0, has opened new possibilities in terms of online dissemination and sharing of geospatial contents, thus laying the foundations for a fruitful development of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) systems. The purpose of the study is to investigate the extension of VGI applications, which are quite mature in the traditional bi-dimensi...
متن کاملGTOPO30 Map Generator:
Geographical information systems, particularly one intended to provide high resolution spatial data on the web, require specific methods in user interface design and data processing. These methods should support both a quick visual display of the geographic area of interest and the navigation and orientation inside the virtual environment with little cognitive effort. On the other hand the typi...
