This paper presents novel and effective methods for teaching about topography--or shape of terrain--and assessing 3-dimensional spatial learning using tangibles. We used Tangible Landscape--a tangible interface geospatial modeling--to teach multiple hands-on lessons on the concepts grading (i.e., earthwork), geomorphology, hydrology. examined students' ratings system's usability user experience tested acquisition transfer knowledge. Our results suggest physicality objects enabled...
Tangible Landscape is a tangible interface for geographic information systems (GIS). It interactively couples physical and digital models of landscape so that users can intuitively explore, model, analyze geospatial data in collaborative environment. Conceptually lets hold GIS their hands they feel the shape topography, naturally sculpt new landforms, interact with simulations like water flow. Since it only affords bird's-eye view landscape, we coupled an immersive virtual environment...
Visual characteristics of urban environments influence human perception and behavior, including choices for living, recreation modes transportation. Although geospatial visualizations hold great potential to better inform planning design, computational methods are lacking realistically measure model parkland viewscapes at sufficiently fine-scale resolution. In this study, we develop evaluate an integrative approach measuring modeling viewscape a mixed-use environment, city park. Our improves...
