Abstract

This short paper describes initial progress with the Tangible Augmented Street Map (TASM), which uses tangible Augmented Reality to display virtual geographic objects on the faces of a cube for navigation in the outdoors environment. Rather than specific objects being absolutely linked with specific patterns (one pattern per cube face), a relative linking system is put forward. Rotation of the cube in any one of the four major directions will display objects that are geographically in that direction. This intuitive panning across space is therefore theoretically infinite, limited only by the extent of the spatial data.
