WalkGIS: Exploring Platial Analysis of Leisure Walks via Linked Video Narratives

Abstract

Extracting rich contextual information from study participants presents an interesting challenge when the expected results are uncertain. This article presents the design of a contextual geographic information system (GIS) to extract platial information from a multimodal data set (audio, video, and GPS) collected during a ‘think-aloud’ leisure walking study. WalkGIS enables transcriptions, labelling, and platial analysis to be performed within one system, with data being linked and coordinated to form linked video narratives.
