Both SNUs and POIs inside the visual field are visualized in 3D
environment and are superimposed on image captured by the
camera – [Live Mode].
Users can switch between the map mode and live mode by laying
down the device or by raising it into vertical position.
TWO BASIC INTERACTION TASKS
Context-Related Visualization Route Calculation
1) Establishing the Goal
User is willing to receive visual The user wants to reach one of the
information about physical/virtual env. identified POIs or SNUs.
2) Executing the action
User lays down down device – Map View, Lays down device and select target on
raises device into vertical position and map, Invokes the route calculation
turns to explore surrounding – Live Mode. function, raises device to vertical position.
3) Perceiving the system state
Map – captures location of POIs in 2D Map-route drawn as 2D poly-line along
view, Live – observes POIs/SNUs in 3D with label on target icon, Live – set of
augmented reality space. waypoints with radar view displaying
closest waypoint.
4) Evaluation in respect to goals and intensions
Users evaluate whether the localization, identification and visualized route of SNUs
and POIs coming from LINK2U allows him/her to effectively interact with the
GROUP METHODS
Grouping metaphors is used to avoid the confusion due to SNUs
crush on the screen.
Two grouping methods are used to avoid ‘sensorial overload’ due
to visualization of multiple elements [Framy and Cartography]
Framy Visualization Technique:
Basic idea is to divide the world around the user into sections.
The green triangle shows camera visual field.
Color intensity of each portion is proportional to the number of
