Nowadays, pedestrian often relies on automated navigation systems
to find their way in an unfamiliar environment at the expense of increasingly
degrading one’s spatial knowledge and surrounding environment
interaction. The reason for this is that because pedestrians are not required
to solve spatial tasks along the route, they just depend on the abilities of
the system, despite the fact that mental maps are built up from observations
gathered during travel and direct interaction with the environment.
This research investigated the augmentation of Google Maps turn-by-turn
(TbT) pedestrian navigation system with context-aware visualization of
the point of interests (POIs) along the path to enhance surrounding environment
interaction and spatial knowledge of pedestrian. We conducted
an experiment with six participant’s using a prototype application with
and without dynamic visualization of POIs to evaluate its effect on participant’s
spatial knowledge and interaction with the surrounding environment.
Results suggested that participant’s using a prototype application
augmented with a context-aware display of POIs showed better spatial
iii
knowledge and surrounding environment interaction compared to participant’s
who use a prototype application without context-aware display of
POIs. [-]
