CityInMyPocket - Researchbull Existing digital walking guides - Results

bull Each application has + its strengths and - its weaknesses

bull TimeSpots for example has an excellent information model but the map application and positioning are inadequate

bull The Bloody Fields of Flanders offers a decent map and routing mode but there is little user interaction possible and the information offered to the user is quite limited

CityInMyPocket wants to combine the strengths of each of them providing an interactive map application with routing and easy access to layered information units

CityInMyPocket - Research

bull User analysisbull Focus groups

bull 3 user groups (lt20 20-50 gt50) bull 2 focus group sessions for each user group

bull Interviews with specialists in tourismbull Field study at the city information office

bull What are the typical questions visitors havebull What problems do they encounter during their visit

CityInMyPocket - Researchbull User analysis ndash Results

bull Some visitors are satisfied with brief information fragments while others keep on reading exploring all the detailsCityInMyPocket will implement a layered information model with plenty of room to add detailed information

bull Visitors would appreciate it very much to see their current position on the street map and route guidance to points of interest (POIs) would be a great feature tooCityInMyPocket will provide an interactive map with routing

bull A mainstream visitor wants more than traditional historical walks around the cityCityInMyPocket will provide thematic walks focussing on a particular topic

CityInMyPocket - Lessons learned

bull eSVG enginebull One of the main problems we have encountered

was the lack of a powerful SVG viewerbull The eSVG engine does not support the latest SVG

specification (SVG Tiny 12) and only implements a part of the previous SVG 11 specifications for mobiles Even working with the limited set of supported features causes a lot of problems

bull Working with the eSVG engine at its current development stage (eSVG version 24) is quite difficult and extremely time-consuming

bull We hope to see more powerful SVG mobile engines in the near future

bull Renesis


bull Mapbull We achieved to automatically convert the original

ESRI shape files to SVG format but manual fine-tuning was necessary

bull Adding missing data small streets squares parks etcbull Cleaning up the SVG

bull Thematic informationbull The original data was not ready to be published

on a PDAbull Text-basedbull Long fragmentsbull No GPS data available

CityInMyPocket - Future
