[gps-talkusers] potential wayfinding presentation in Atlanta

I recently held a wayfinding presentation in Manhattan and am testing the water for a similar event in Atlanta. Please read on if you would be interested in attending. In Manhattan, we had 10 people present for the presentation and 20 people participating on-line. Please forward this to others you think would be interested as well.

The following is an agenda of potential topics to be covered during Mike May's presentation, Current and Future Wayfinding Technologies, Friday, January 20, 2006, at 9 AM in Atlanta. The time spent on each item is up to the attendees. Please email MikeMay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to express interest.

Upcoming improvements in the next BrailleNote GPS release.

Other accessible GPS products:
Pros and cons of the Trekker and StreetTalk as well as the commercially available Wayfinder and Telenav cell phone GPS products.

Wayfinding Research:
Discussion of the collaborative project by Sendero and its five partner organizations including testing of the efficiency of using GPS versus without GPS, spatial presentation of information and verbal language announcements; mental imaging and cognitive load.

Emerging Wayfinding technologies:
