Title: | StripeMaps: Improving Map-based Pedestrian Navigation for Smartwatches. | Authors: | WENIG, Dirk SCHOENING, Johannes Hecht, Brent Malaka, Rainer |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Publisher: | ACM | Source: | Proceedings of the International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Service MobileHCI 2015 | Abstract: | Map applications for smartwatches present new challenges in cartography, a domain in which large display sizes have significant advantages. In this paper, we introduce StripeMaps, a system that adapts the mobile web design technique of linearization for displaying maps on the small screens of smartwatches. Just as web designers simplify multiple column desktop websites into a single column for easier navigation on mobile devices, StripeMaps transforms any two-dimensional route map into a one-dimensional “stripe”. Through a user study, we show that this simplification allows StripeMaps to outperform both traditional mobile map interfaces and turn-by-turn directions for pedestrian navigation using smartwatches. In addition to introducing StripeMaps, this paper also has a secondary contribution. It contains the first empirical comparison of different approaches for pedestrian smartwatch navigation and illuminates their pros and cons. | Keywords: | smartwatches; cartography; mobile maps; pedestrian navigation | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/19048 | ISBN: | 9781450336529 | DOI: | 10.1145/2785830.2785862 | Rights: | Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.
