This paper explores how mixed reality interfaces can be used for the presentation of information on mobile devices using a rapid prototyping approach to software development.
Abstract
The motivation for this research is the emergence of mobile information systems where information is disseminated to mobile individuals via handheld devices. A key distinction between mobile and desktop computing is the significance of the relationship between the spatial location of an individual and the spatial location associated with information accessed by that individual. Given a set of spatially referenced documents retrieved from a mobile information system, this set can be presented using alternative interfaces of which two presently dominate: textual lists and graphical two-dimensional maps. The purpose of this paper is to explore how mixed reality interfaces can be used for the presentation of information on mobile devices.

83 Citations2007David Mountain, Andrew MacFarlane
The results of evaluation suggest that retrieved information to which post-query geographic filters have been applied is considered morerelevant than unfiltered information, and that users find information sorted by spatial proximity to be more relevant than that sorted by a prediction surface of likely future locations.

51 Citations2006Allan J. Brimicombe, Yang Li
Within a publish/subscribe model of LBS provision, mobile space‐time envelopes are proposed as a novel approach to event brokerage that provide ‘soft clip’ pruning of candidate data sets in anticipation of queries, and provide the trigger that subscribers are pertinently in‐range for alerts.
