In Geographical Information search, map visualization can challenge the user because results can consist of a large set of heterogeneous items, increasing visual complexity. We propose a novel visualization model to address this issue. Our model represents results as markers, or as geometric objects, on 2D/3D layers, using stylized and highly colored shapes to enhance their visibility. Moreover, the model supports interactive information filtering in the map by enabling the user to focus on different data categories, using transparency sliders to tune the opacity, and thus the emphasis, of the corresponding data items. A test with users provided positive results concerning the efficacy of the model.

Abstract
In Geographical Information search, map visualization can challenge the user because results can consist of a large set of heterogeneous items, increasing visual complexity. We propose a novel visualization model to address this issue. Our model represents results as markers, or as geometric objects, on 2D/3D layers, using stylized and highly colored shapes to enhance their visibility. Moreover, the model supports interactive information filtering in the map by enabling the user to focus on different data categories, using transparency sliders to tune the opacity, and thus the emphasis, of the corresponding data items. A test with users provided positive results concerning the efficacy of the model.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
