ABSTRACT
This paper introduces Palmap, which was designed and prototyped for the OZCHI 2009 24 Hour Design Challenge. It presents a design concept how navigation systems and maps could be used in the future. Background research and semi-structured interviews have been conducted to assess current status and to identify problems of maps and navigation. Palmap is an augmented reality (AR) based concept that focuses on gesture-based interaction. This concept is built on the assumption that, in the future, it will be possible to project rich virtual visual information directly into the eye of the user. Interactions would be possible with a virtual assistant and information projected on their palm. Three distinct interactions are described, namely selecting an option, displaying the 'next' and 'previous' options and a 'Total Immersion' function. The evaluation of the concept showed that participants were excited about the possibilities of this concept.
