Research Aim

The main aim of this study is toestablish a framework for effective design of

adaptive 3D map-based applicationson mobile devices.

12

To identify the contextual parameters that influence the

use of 3D mobile maps

To develop a model reflecting the dependency b/n context

and map variables

To extend the model with alternative

design techniques

To develop a framework for effective design of 3D mobile
