Panamap
Posted: October 19th, 2006 | 1 Comment »Urban Mapping produces multi-layered tourist maps called Panamap. These maps aim at improving the tourist navigation in a urban space by viewing only relevant information.
Images are interlaced by alternating horizontal strips from each. The resulting compound image is calibrated to a specially designed polymer lens substrate. By rotating the map, the angle of viewing is changed and one of the resulting three layers can be viewed
Relation to my thesis: I am wondering in what ways this layered view improves the spatial navigation. This is a good inspiration for an experiment that would display uncertainty (quality/timeliness) of the location data in a layered manner and evaluated if it improves the awareness or the navigation.
