This article presents a user experiment that uses eye-tracking to assess the usability of dark and light maps. Here, two widely used web maps, Google Maps and Gaode Maps, are selected at the street and city scales. Eight map-use tasks are designed and cover four operations (identify, compare, rank, and associate) with space-alone and attributes-in-space distinctions. Four pairs of map-use tasks (light-during-the-day, dark-during-the-day, dark-at-night, and light-at-night) are examined from three aspects: effectiveness, efficiency, and cognitive load. The results provide preliminary evidence that the light-during-the-day performance is generally the best in most cases, followed by the dark-at-night performance; the dark-during-the-day performance is the worst in all cases, followed by the light-at-night performance, which suggests that aligning the map design with the environment (i.e., lighting environment) is critical for better communication. The light-during-the-day performance is the best for space-alone tasks, and the dark-at-night performance is the best for attributes-in-space tasks. Our investigation also indicates that dark maps are far less favored in practice, which suggests that users' preference for using the dark mode of public-facing web maps needs to be shaped. Since light and dark maps are associated with photopic and scotopic vision, respectively, the results indicate the need for future studies on how to leverage scotopic vision to design better dark maps.

This study summarizes dynamic visual representations and true 3D interactions as characteristics of augmented maps from the cartographic perspective through analysis of the research progress in different disciplines. From secondary viewpoints of cognition and design, the augmented map cube is presented to establish the research framework in three directions: cognitive purposes, information dimensions, and interactive devices, in which map-based spatial cognition theory, augmented visualization, and interactive features are considered. The research evaluation is carried out to determine the reasonableness of the cube and then identify different research statuses in any one or two of the directions under the cube. Based on a literature search and classification, 30 typical studies were used for structural analysis to discover research trends and new directions that can be mined. The results show that the cube can be used to evaluate the coverage of an article or provide researchers with research trends and new possibilities. Our conclusions include but are not limited to the following: Research for retrieval purposes deserves attention, augmented visualization of specific individual elements is key to understanding maps, and interactive devices become more intangible.

An empirical study on the effects of temporal trends in spatial patterns on animated choropleth maps / Paweł Cybulski in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 11 n° 5 (May 2022)

The presented study aims to examine the effectiveness of spatial pattern and temporal trend recognition on animated choropleth maps. In a controlled laboratory experiment with participants and eye tracking, fifteen animated maps were used to show a different spatial patterns and temporal trends. The participants’ task was to correctly detect the patterns and trends on a choropleth map. The study results show that effective spatial pattern and temporal trend recognition on a choropleth map is related to participants’ visual behavior. Visual attention clustered in the central part of the choropleth map supports effective spatio-temporal relationship recognition. The larger the area covered by the fixation cluster, the higher the probability of correct temporal trend and spatial pattern recognition. However, animated choropleth maps are more suitable for presenting temporal trends than spatial patterns. Understanding the difficulty in the correct recognition of spatio-temporal relationships might be a reason for implementing techniques that support effective visual searches such as highlighting, cartographic redundancy, or interactive tools. For end-users, the presented study reveals the necessity of the application of a specific visual strategy. Focusing on the central part of the map is the most effective strategy for the recognition of spatio-temporal relationships.

Swipe versus multiple view: a comprehensive analysis using eye-tracking to evaluate user interaction with web maps / Stanislav Popelka in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 49 n° 3 (May 2022)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > vol 49 n° 3 (May 2022) . - pp 252 - 270 Titre : Swipe versus multiple view: a comprehensive analysis using eye-tracking to evaluate user interaction with web maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Stanislav Popelka, Auteur ; Jaroslav Burian, Auteur ; Marketa Beitlova, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 252 - 270 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] analyse géovisuelle [Termes IGN] ArcGIS online [Termes IGN] carte interactive [Termes IGN] cartographie par internet [Termes IGN] interactivité [Termes IGN] interface web [Termes IGN] oculométrie [Termes IGN] représentation cognitive [Termes IGN] utilisateur civil [Termes IGN] vision [Termes IGN] web mapping [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartologie Résumé : (auteur) The comparison of multiple maps is a common fundamental process used by geographers to explore the world. The most frequently applied interactive methods for the comparison of maps are multiple view and swipe. Swipe allows the user to interactively drag and overlap two different maps. Multiple view is based on the simultaneous side-by-side display of several maps. The current paper presents an analysis of the use of these two map comparison techniques in an Esri environment using an eye-tracking study which involved 25 participants. The participants completed two different tasks which compared land suitability using two or four maps. Based on an analysis of the recorded data, we compared the effectiveness of these methods through the accuracy of answers, the trial duration, and eye-tracking metrics of the individual compositional elements of the interactive maps. Cognitive processing was investigated through the analysis of dynamic areas of interest. This labor-intensive analysis yielded results which could be visualized using sequence charts. Based on these analyses, we concluded that the participants worked more effectively with multiple views, especially in comparing four maps. Working with swipe in the Esri environment is non-intuitive in comparisons of more than two maps. Many participants instead preferred simple toggling between layers instead of interactive swipe comparisons. However, when swipe was used to compare two maps, the method was more efficient, especially during cognitively demanding tasks.

The effect of map label language on the visual search of cartographic point symbols / Paweł Cybulski in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 49 n° 3 (May 2022)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > vol 49 n° 3 (May 2022) . - pp 189 - 204 Titre : The effect of map label language on the visual search of cartographic point symbols Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Paweł Cybulski, Auteur ; Vassilios Krassanakis, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 189 - 204 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] détection de cible [Termes IGN] étiquette [Termes IGN] langage cartographique [Termes IGN] langue [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] oculométrie [Termes IGN] sémiologie graphique [Termes IGN] symbole graphique [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartologie Résumé : (auteur) The present study aims to examine how the visual search for cartographic symbols is affected by the language of map labels. More specifically, we explore the influence of native language in the performance of a visual search map task which is referred to target point symbol detection. The main research hypothesis is that the relative position of the target symbols plays a significant role in the visual search process, although labels language impacts reaction time. In a controlled laboratory experiment with 38 participants and eye tracking technology, we used maps with labels in participants’ native language (Polish) and in Chinese, which participants could neither read nor write. We find that the detection of target symbols with Chinese labels is faster when the symbol’s location is peripheral. On the other hand, faster detection of target symbols with labels in participants’ native language favors central location. It turned out that having noticed the target symbol, participants fixated on the native language label. For Chinese labels, having seen the target symbol, participants did not fixate on the label. It also turned out that when participants searched for a target symbol located in the peripheral zone, more visual attention was in this zone. However, when the target symbol’s location was central, the participants’ visual attention focused mostly on the central zone. This confirms the significant role of the location of cartographic symbols in the visual search process.
