Multi Surface Interactions with Geospatial Data: A Systematic Review

Even though Multi Surface Environments (MSE) and how to perform interactions in these environments have received much attention during recent years, interaction with geospatial data in these environments is still limited, and there are many design and interaction issues that need to be addressed. Alongside the rapid rise in the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in group-based decision making, interaction with geospatial data has become highly important. In order to summarize the earlier research in this area, this paper presents a systematic review of MSE interactions with geospatial data; analyzing the existing studies on MSE interaction techniques, discussing issues related to interaction with geospatial data in MSEs and providing a comparison between common GIS tasks and existing interaction techniques in MSEs. Our results indicate that a substantial number of GIS tasks have not been investigated in MSEs.
