About the workshop
Tools, applications and services relying on map-based interfaces are so ubiquitous in our modern digital world that often the important roles which maps play in supporting users' interactions with them go unnoticed. Yet, without further advances in the design and development of map-based interfaces and interactions it is highly unlikely that future such systems will meet the increasing needs, expectations and requirements of their users. Therefore, it is important to provide regular multidisciplinary venues for the sharing of research, practical and professional expertise, learnings, practices, and experiences related to design, development and evaluation of advanced map-based interfaces and interactions across an ever-increasing range of fields. Over the past few years, this workshop has been providing one such much-needed forum that has brought together experts in maps and mapping from various disciplines, spanning sciences, humanities, art and design.
This workshop is part of the 18th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces, and is supported by the IFIP TC 13 Working Group on Human-Centred Technology for Sustainability.
