World-wide access to geospatial data by pointing through the earth
Erika Reponen, Jaakko Keränen, Hannu Korhonen · 2010
Traditional augmented reality UI views are restricted to the visible surroundings around the user. In this paper we present a concept that enables viewing and accessing geospatial data from all around the Earth, by pointing with the device towards a physical location. We describe a prototype of the concept and share the results of the first user experience study conducted with the prototype. We also discuss our future research directions.
