Figure 1:
The right-hand side of the "Where are We?" screen displays a map of a portion of an urban park. The left-hand side of the screen shows a video representation of a scene from within the area of the map. By clicking on the forward, left or right buttons, the user can "move" throughout the park by viewing appropriate video segments. The user is challenged to keep track of, figure out, or annotate his position on the map, based on visual clues in the video. The pedagogical goal is to be able to "translate" mentally back and forth between a visually-perceived, intricate, profile view of reality (the video) and a schematic, sparse, planview representation of that reality (the map).
