In this paper we present Framy-AR, an integrated solution for mobile devices which combines the potential of augmented reality with the Framy ability to visually analyze and present spatial data. The rationale behind Framy-AR is to enhance mobile users’ capabilities by providing them with information about the surrounding environment in terms of features distribution and pathways. In particular, Framy-AR improves map contextual information by taking into account user’s preferences. Moreover, it constantly guides the user during navigation by linking static and dynamic data presented through an advanced multimodal interface. The resulting prototype reveal enhanced properties also in terms of support for visual or motor impaired people, who can benefit from both the customized calculation of the best route and the way such information is delivered through the mobile device, e.g. audio, visual and tactile modality.

Abstract
In this paper we present Framy-AR, an integrated solution for mobile devices which combines the potential of augmented reality with the Framy ability to visually analyze and present spatial data. The rationale behind Framy-AR is to enhance mobile users’ capabilities by providing them with information about the surrounding environment in terms of features distribution and pathways. In particular, Framy-AR improves map contextual information by taking into account user’s preferences. Moreover, it constantly guides the user during navigation by linking static and dynamic data presented through an advanced multimodal interface. The resulting prototype reveal enhanced properties also in terms of support for visual or motor impaired people, who can benefit from both the customized calculation of the best route and the way such information is delivered through the mobile device, e.g. audio, visual and tactile modality.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
