Abstract:
Increasingly, mobile services are using location-based information provided by GPS sensors. Especially HCI research deals with a growing interest in how people make sense of location-based information while on the move. Mobile user-studies can help to address this black box and provide the opportunity to combine location-based data with context related content of the mobile practices being performed. In this study, we address this relationship and ask how spatial information should be visualized in order to explore mobile contexts. We conducted a qualitative study to learn about the usage and interpretation forms of spatial information and further translated these findings into a basic framework for mobile user-studies, concluding with an evaluation.
