Exploring the Relation Between Sense of Direction and Spatial Anxiety in Everyday Mobile Map App Use (Short Paper)

Authors: Donatella Zingaro, Tumasch Reichenbacher, Mona Bartling, and Sara Irina Fabrikant

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 315, 16th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2024)

Abstract
Many studies have examined the effect of GPS reliance on individual spatial abilities and emotional disposition. Yet, how those individual differences relate to everyday mobile map interactions in the wild is poorly understood. Hence, we empirically studied the effect of users' sense of direction and spatial anxiety using mobile map apps in their everyday lives by deploying an ecologically valid approach to recording phone-based touchscreen interaction. We operationalised touchscreen interactions as switching patterns for mobile maps and other app categories. We hypothesised that users with a better sense of direction would spend less time on mobile map apps and show increased switching patterns between mobile map apps and other apps compared to users with a worse sense of direction. Conversely, users with higher levels of spatial anxiety would spend more time on mobile map apps and show decreased switching patterns. Our results contradicted our hypotheses. We did, however, find gender-specific trends: Women with higher spatial anxiety switch more often from different categories of apps (for all apps, not specifically map apps) in a phone session. Contrary to our hypothesis, men with a better sense of direction tend to spend more time on mobile map apps. This research reveals insights into the effect of users' spatial abilities and emotional dispositions on everyday users' touchscreen interactions with mobile map apps. It provides ground for mobile map app interaction design on accounting for individual-related differences.

Visual Analytics for Sets over Time and Space (Dagstuhl Seminar 19192)

Authors: Sara Irina Fabrikant, Silvia Miksch, and Alexander Wolff

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5 (2019)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 19192 "Visual Analytics for Sets over Time and Space", which brought together 29 researchers working on visualization (i) from a theoretical point of view (graph drawing, computational geometry, and cognition), (ii) from a temporal point of view (visual analytics and information visualization over time, HCI), and (iii) from a space-time point of view (cartography, GIScience). The goal of the seminar was to identify specific theoretical and practical problems that need to be solved in order to create dynamic and interactive set visualizations that take into account time and space, and to begin working on these problems. The first 1.5 days were reserved for overview presentations from representatives of the different communities, for presenting open problems, and for forming interdisciplinary working groups that will focus on some of the identified open problems as a group. There were three survey talks, ten short talks, and one panel with three contributors. The remaining three days consisted of open mic sessions, working-group meetings, and progress reports. Five working groups were formed that investigated several of the open research questions. Abstracts of the talks and a report from each working group are included in this report.

How Do Texture and Color Communicate Uncertainty in Climate Change Map Displays? (Short Paper)

Authors: Irene M. Johannsen, Sara Irina Fabrikant, and Mariele Evers

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 114, 10th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2018)

Abstract
We report on an empirical study with over hundred online participants where we investigated how texture and color value, two popular visual variables used to convey uncertainty in maps, are understood by non-domain-experts. Participants intuit denser dot textures to mean greater attribute certainty; irrespective of whether the dot pattern is labeled certain or uncertain. With this additional empirical evidence, we hope to further improve our understanding of how non-domain experts interpret uncertainty information depicted in map displays. This in turn will allow us to more clearly and legibly communicate uncertainty information in climate change maps, so that these displays can be unmistakably understood by decision-makers and the general public.

Long-Term Landmark and Route Memory Retention Acquired in a Real-World Map-Aided Navigation Task (Short Paper)

Authors: Armand Kapaj, Christopher Hilton, and Sara I. Fabrikant

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 315, 16th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2024)

Abstract
The visualization of landmarks in mobile maps has become a popular countermeasure to the negative effect navigation aids have on spatial learning. Landmarks are salient environmental cues that serve as cognitive anchors during navigation, facilitating spatial memory formation and long-term retention. However, longitudinal studies assessing long-term spatial memory retention acquired during mobile map-assisted navigation in the real world and what role visualized landmarks play in this context are still scarce. We report on a longitudinal study to assess long-term spatial memory retention of wayfinders who, two years prior, navigated only once a real-world route prescribed with a mobile map aid enriched with visually salient task-relevant landmarks. We report preliminary results on their long-term memory retention of acquired landmark and route knowledge. We found that participants retained meaningful long-term landmark and route knowledge over the two-year study period. While landmark knowledge decreased over the test-retest sessions, gained route knowledge was unaffected. These ecologically valid results contribute to a better understanding of spatial memory formation and long-term retention after one route exposure through a real-world environment, aided by a mobile map enriched with salient landmarks.

The Future of Geographic Information Displays from GIScience, Cartographic, and Cognitive Science Perspectives (Vision Paper)

Authors: Tyler Thrash, Sara Lanini-Maggi, Sara I. Fabrikant, Sven Bertel, Annina Brügger, Sascha Credé, Cao Tri Do, Georg Gartner, Haosheng Huang, Stefan Münzer, and Kai-Florian Richter

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 142, 14th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2019)

Abstract
With the development of modern geovisual analytics tools, several researchers have emphasized the importance of understanding users' cognitive, perceptual, and affective tendencies for supporting spatial decisions with geographic information displays (GIDs). However, most recent technological developments have focused on support for navigation in terms of efficiency and effectiveness while neglecting the importance of spatial learning. In the present paper, we will envision the future of GIDs that also support spatial learning in the context of large-scale navigation. Specifically, we will illustrate the manner in which GIDs have been (in the past) and might be (in the future) designed to be context-responsive, personalized, and supportive for active spatial learning from three different perspectives (i.e., GIScience, cartography, and cognitive science). We will also explain why this approach is essential for preventing the technological infantilizing of society (i.e., the reduction of our capacity to make decisions without technological assistance). Although these issues are common to nearly all emerging digital technologies, we argue that these issues become especially relevant in consideration of a person’s current and future locations.
