Designing an AR Viewer to Navigate Changing Geospatial Information Needs

Am 7. Mai Basel Meetup von UX Schweiz im 2025 sprechen Dr. Elif Gürçınar und Prof. Dr. Anton Fedosov über Designing an AR Viewer to Navigate Changing Geospatial Information Needs.

Anschliessend laden wir wieder zum Netzwerken bei Drinks und Snacks ein - bis die Lichter um 21.00 ausgehen.

Zum Talk (in English):
In this talk, we report on the results of a project conducted in collaboration with OpenGIS.ch and supported by the Swiss Innovation Agency Innosuisse. It concerns the QField app – an award-winning mobile tool to collect, manage, and edit the geographically referenced information on the go tailored to the needs of the GIS (Geographic Information System) fieldwork, such as urban planning, infrastructure work, forestry, geology, and ecology.

We identified 2D and 3D data needs regarding interactivity in the field to inform the design and implementation of the geospatial AR viewer for QField to improve spatial understanding and decision-making in situ.
