Abstract

We investigated the usefulness transparency can play in increasing the display space of mobile devices in navigation scenarios. Two different systems that used transparency to display a map and image of a point of interest (POI) were compared to a control. Significant variations were identified in the strategies employed, with a strong user preference towards the transparency conditions. Significant variations in time or distance taken were not identified between conditions, although results indicate strong avenues for future investigation.
