What is MapInteract 2014 Workshop Report the 2nd ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Interacting with Maps Dallas, Texas, USA - November 4, 2014 about?
Maps are rapidly becoming fully interactive interfaces to geographic information. We use them as tools to plan our journeys, to decide where we are going to live, to visualize data, or for gaming. We want to inspect relationships between entities, navigate through large result sets, and to quickly identify the best options amongst many alternatives. Whatever it is, we need to express our needs such that algorithms can provide the answer. However, working with maps is still surprisingly awkward. Simple queries can require a lot of interaction and workarounds, formulating complex queries is sometimes not even possible. To transform maps into intelligent and interactive interfaces, we need to anticipate users, contexts, and tasks and adapt interaction and visualization towards their needs and capabilities. MapInteract provides a platform to discuss these challenges and to shape the picture of maps of the future.
