MAPII - Map-based Interfaces and Interactions

Abstract

Maps have been used for centuries as tools for exploring the real and the imagined, the physical and the metaphysical worlds. Today, in the world of technology, maps also play an important role as underlying representation tools, forming the basis of a wide range of digital devices, applications, and services. Despite this, there are hardly any venues for sharing of research and design expertise, learnings, practices, and experiences of the use of maps and map-like visualizations in the context of visual interfaces and interactions. This workshop aims to fill this gap by providing a much-needed interdisciplinary forum focusing on map-based interfaces and interactions.
