- This paper gives an overview of the €3.6M EU-FP7 Spacebook Project (EU FP7.270019) system, and describes the components and user evaluation. Significantly Spacebook was the first dialogue-based virtual guide for pedestrians to combine visibility modelling from the user's perspective with a speech-based dialogue interface. This enabled the user to ask questions about features in view at the same time as being guided using landmark based navigation. The article was published in the top Geographic Information Science journal. I was lead author, developed the visibility modelling software, city model, and pedestrian tracker components described in the paper.
