Research interests:
- mobile maps
- location based services (LBS)
- spatial cognition, cognitive maps
- support for user's self-locating and orientation in map services
- merging multimodal elements to mobile maps
- impact of personally important content for the navigation user experience
- augmented reality (AR) in mobile maps
- implementing the research methods of mobile maps
Aims:
- To develop cognitively relevant guidelines for improving the user experience of mobile map services
- To define the main components of the map services to support the user in the perception of space
- To develop the user-centered research methods of the map services
- e.g. improving the usability heuristics and adapting eye-tracking techniques for map services
- -> To be able to define the essential design guidelines also for the innovative map-related services of the future
Implementation:
Evaluating the current map services - Testing new design solutions
- Testing the current user-centered research methods, defining the deficiencies of them and iteratively implementing improvements to match the needs better
- Defining the user's navigation strategies by user field tests
--> Applying gathered information from the empirical research
and from the current theories to define the strong
design solutions and usability requirements for the mobile map services - usability testing with users
- eye-tracking
- heuristic usability evaluation
- service prototyping and iterative development
- interviews and surveys
