Notes de l'éditeur
- Here is the outline of my presentation: I will first introduce you the background and motivation of the work. In this presentation I will tell you about two experimental applications we have built, The first one being a soundscape map and the second one is a sonic map for VIP And finally few words about the conclusion derived from these studies
- The background of this work lays in two projects ongoing in the department of Geoinformatics and Cartography Menomap: funded by Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation research partner Aalto School of Design + companies and organisations Those of you who were on the ICA workshop on Tuesday already have heard about the HaptiMAp The HaptiMap is the EC in the 7th Framework Programme project coordinated by the Lund University/ Department of Design Sciences 13 partners: Navteq, Siemens, BMT Group, CEA, ONCE, FGI, University of Glasgow, OFFIS, Queen’s University, Fundacion Robotiker, Kreis Soest, and Lunds municipality In both projects task of our institute is to implement an use case for hikers
- Printed graphic maps, newspapers, web, mobile phones etc. all together constitute an interface to information on nature. The aim is to develop this (meta) user interface so that hikers would be provided by an easy-to-use, useful, challenging and entertaining user experience. In the project a Web Map service was established + mobile devices + printed maps all from the same content
- accessible also by special user groups such as visually impaired, locomotion restricted or elderly people
- We wanted to study Can the use of sound enhance the map use experience? Can the sound in maps communicate spatial information which can not be revealed visually There has been quite a many studies dealing with sound and geographic information but still very few practical applications.

- The primary use of the presented soundscape map applications is to serve stationary users when planning a hike or users who are unable to visit the actual place. An example of such a user group is people who have restricted locomotion ability.
- The buttons are realized in the MenoMaps project in the web-map service here an Adobe Flash application. I will show you a demonstration in the end of my presentation I now want to move on to the other application we have done within the HaptiMap project...
- This application has been made within the HaptiMap project. The target group is visually impaired people, but also children might benefit. As well as the soundscape map this map is targeted to stationary use visually impaired users can familiarise themselves with the area in advance and find sonic landmarks in order to obtain help in recognising places when later visiting, e.g. a national park.
- Visually impaired people may, with certain limits, utilise visual maps, especially when displayed on large lighted screens; At our institute we have a multitouch wall which can be used as a interface to this map. This realization was completed using Adobe Flash CS3 software. The various areas and separate objects of the map were integrated into invisible buttons. Thereafter, the sound files were attached to the buttons, and after that the sounds could be listened through a mouse-over function. The user may explore the map with mouse (or other pointer) and in different locations hear a sound related to the object
