GeoLens: Multi-User Interaction with Rich Geographic Information
Ulrich von Zadow, Florian Daiber, Johannes Schoening, Antonio Krüger · 2012
Zoomable 3D map viewers have been used many times as excellent demos of the potential of multi-touch systems. While they showcase the possibilities of multi-touch very well, they are inherently not capable of supporting multiuser interaction. We present enhanced magic lenses GeoLenses as user interface concept that expands on prior magic lens work. GeoLenses are fully multi-user capable while still being intuitive to use. We built a complete enduser application based on this concept and deployed it in an exhibition. Our observations of application usage by about 150 visitors suggest that the concept is viable and easy to understand for the general public.
