Street Map Mobile

raditional paper-based maps are still superior to their dig- ital counterparts used on mobile devices in several ways. They provide high-resolution, large-scale information with zero power consumption. On the other hand digital maps provide personalized and dynamic infor- mation on request, but suffer from small outer scales and low resolutions. In this work we try to combine the advantages of both by using mo- bile camera devices (such as smartphones ore PDA) as a map-referenced magic lens that displays geo-referenced information on top of the physi- cal map. We will mainly focus on the interaction schemes that arise from using mobile camera devices with physical maps and briefly explain how the device tracking over existing physical maps can be realized.
