abstract |
In this study we report on our experiences of creating and running a student fieldtrip
exercise which allowed students to compare a range of approaches to the design of
technologies for augmenting landscape scenes. The main study site is around Keswick
in the English Lake District, Cumbria, UK, an attractive upland environment popular
with tourists and walkers. The aim of the exercise for the students was to assess
the effectiveness of various forms of geographic information in augmenting real landscape
scenes, as mediated through a range of techniques and technologies. These techniques
were: computer-generated acetate overlays showing annotated wireframe views from certain
key points; a custom-designed application running on a PDA; a mediascape running on
the mScape software on a GPS-enabled mobile phone; Google Earth on a tablet PC; and
a head-mounted in-field Virtual Reality system. Each group of students had all five
techniques available to them, and were tasked with comparing them in the context of
creating a visitor guide to the area centred on the field centre. Here we summarise
their findings and reflect upon some of the broader research questions emerging from
the project. |
