| Abstract | This thesis discusses different methods of presenting navigation information to pedestrians on mobile devices. The focus is on presenting information by other means than a traditional map. The recent rising popularity of the next generation mobile phones has created a need and an interest in navigation applications aimed at pedestrians. This thesis defines the basic terms involving the cognitive processes of navigation, examines the attributes and constraints of a pedestrian, and discusses the presenting of navigation information with location-aware mobile devices. Maps have functioned as traditional aids in navigation for centuries but some inherent constraints of mobile devices, such as a small screen, make it difficult to present information this way. Four different alternative methods of presenting navigation information to users are presented in the text. These methods are: augmented reality, auditory display, tactile display and radar display. In addition the compatibility of these alternatives for pedestrian use is examined. |
