Personalized Compass: A Compact Visualization for Direction and Location
summary
Compact prototype combines a multi-needle compass with an abstract overview map to show where X relative to known landmarks, implemented as a small widget that can sit on maps or emulate smartwatch and phone displays. Field testing in New York and London and a lab study with 26 participants compares it to Wedge on Locate and Localize tasks. Results: Wedge is more accurate for close off-screen POIs, P-Compass is better for distant POIs and for inferring relationships, but P-Compass is slower and requires a personal POI database and balanced POI selection.
