Abstract

In this paper, the potential of Mobile Spatial Interaction for Emergency Response Technologies is presented. The following basic advantages compared to traditional location awareness technologies have been identified: meaningful interaction with real-world objects, efficient selection and access, continuous interplay of virtual and spatial information, and accurate match with the user's task goals. The technical background for mobile spatial interaction as well as implications for further research are discussed.
