We present the user experience study results of a novel interaction concept that enables viewing and accessing geospatial data from all around the Earth, by pointing with a mobile device directly towards any physical location. We explain the relationship of this concept to traditional augmented reality and map based user interfaces, and we describe a prototype of the concept. In the evaluation we found that whole body interaction is a good way to browse geospatial content. The need for real-time information arises when using the concept. Reliable and detailed information is expected. Examining the Earth became interesting with the prototype. We also discuss the challenges faced in the prototype and suggest ways to tackle them.
