Understanding visitor interaction with a projection augmented relief model display: insights from an in-the-wild study in the English Lake District (2019)
Journal Article
Priestnall, G., & Cheverst, K. (2019). Understanding visitor interaction with a projection augmented relief model display: insights from an in-the-wild study in the English Lake District. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-019-01320-2

Projection Augmented Relief Models (PARM) are a promising tangible display technology for assisting users in orientating themselves within the represented landscape. The production of physical models is now easier than ever thanks to more freely avai...

Augmenting the landscape scene: students as participatory evaluators of mobile geospatial technologies (2019)
Journal Article
Priestnall, G., FitzGerald, E., Meek, S., Sharples, M., & Polmear, G. (2019). Augmenting the landscape scene: students as participatory evaluators of mobile geospatial technologies. Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 43(2), 131-154. https://doi.org/10.1080/03098265.2019.1599332

This paper provides a two-phase study to compare alternative techniques for augmenting landscape scenes on geography fieldtrips. The techniques were: a pre-prepared acetate overlay; a custom-designed mobile field guide; a locative media app on a smar...
