| Summary: | The focus of this report is on how to interact on mobile devices and why it is necessary to embrace a paradigm shift in terms of interaction techniques for mobile devices which allow a user to communicate with mobile technology using as little visual attention as possible to access the effectiveness of such paradigms.
The literature covered is on current input and output methods, and the advantages and disadvantages of each method with a view to answering the question “What is the best input-output method for mobile devices?”, and could be used as guidelines for input and output methods for mobile devices. This report will contribute to the RGI-149 project, of which the main focus is to push a proper amount of geo-information to the mobile user’s device. Generally speaking, the user of this project application is an environmental officer responsible for environmental protection. Their job specification requires them to always be moving from one point to another, dependent on their tasks. The application of ‘Buiten Beter’ is to support surveillance for environmental officers, to obtain information on rubbish dumping, pollution and other happenings, for example. In order to carry out inspections, for instance, they should be supported with suitable maps. The key problem here is how to present this amount of information within the limitations of a small screen size.
A previous report on Cartographic Representation in Small Display Screens mentioned applying a contextaware technology
to this application.
This report attempts to explain how to interact with a mobile device and why it is necessary to embrace a paradigm shift in terms of interaction techniques for mobile devices that could be used by dedicated users with as little visual attention as possible to access information efficiently and effectively based on their profile, identity, location and behaviour.
