Abstract

ABSTRACT Multisize geographic information system (GIS) has widely used in social life, and the introduction of natural interactive methods such as gesture interaction further broadens the applications of GIS. Gestures, as a natural means of expression, bring a convenient experience to the use of GIS. The user-elicitation method can determine the user’s original operational intention and take advantage of the natural and convenient gesture interaction. However, current research on elicitation methods mainly focuses on defining the function factors of operation commands and rarely considers the influence of environmental factors such as spatial sizes. This paper takes GIS as the object, which is closely related to multisize space. This paper reports a research project on user-defined gestures for interacting with two-dimensional maps in a virtual reality environment, including three types of GIS operation commands and six sizes of maps. The results showed that the user-defined gestures for the same GIS operation commands varied across map sizes. The increase in map size increased the amount of gestural movement. Drawing on our research, we developed a set of gestures for multisize GIS interface interaction. We hope that this research can provide a guiding foundation for mid-air gesture design for all multisize interfaces.

用户自定义的空中手势用于多尺度GIS接口交互

摘要多尺度地理信息系统（GIS）在社会生活中得到了广泛的应用，手势交互等自然交互方法的引入进一步拓宽了GIS的应用范围。手势作为一种自然的表达方式，给地理信息系统的使用带来了便利的体验。用户启发方法可以确定用户的原始操作意图，并利用自然方便的手势交互。然而，目前对启发式方法的研究主要集中在定义作战指挥的功能因素上，很少考虑空间大小等环境因素的影响。本文以GIS为研究对象，它与多尺度空间密切相关。本文报告了一个关于在虚拟现实环境中与二维地图交互的用户定义手势的研究项目，包括三种类型的GIS操作命令和六种尺寸的地图。结果表明，相同GIS操作命令的用户定义手势因地图大小而异。地图大小的增加增加了手势的移动量。根据我们的研究，我们开发了一套用于多尺寸GIS界面交互的手势。我们希望这项研究能为所有多尺寸界面的空中手势设计提供指导性基础。
