About the workshop
Maps have been used for centuries as a tool 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 an underlying representation tool, forming the basis for 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 interface and interactions.
This workshop is part of the 17th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces, and is supported by the IFIP TC 13 Working Group on Human-Centred Technology for Sustainability.
