Design of GIS User Interfaces
Max J. Egenhofer, NCGIA, University of Maine
This research area focuses currently on principles of multi-modal
interactions for geographic information such as pen-based user
interfaces ("Spatial-Query-by-Sketch" and "Sketch-and-Talk"),
gesture interactions with large-scale displays ("GIS WallBoard"),
and iconic spatial languages ("Visual Map Algebra").
