‘Mountains of work’: spatialization of work projects in a virtual geographic environment

摘要: The challenge of successfully managing multiple work projects is a highly complex one, requiring advanced time management amongst other skills. This research proposes spatialization – making non-spatial phenomena spatial as novel alternative to the many digital and analogue tools that help people manage project time. A virtual geographic environment (VGE) demonstration prototype built in OpenSimulator online presented here. landscape visual metaphor employed, through which 3D terrain depicts areas proportional duration, ‘hills’ are sized according difficulty. Progress on assumed be marked from boundary finish, ‘summit’ zone. There explicit path objects VGE reinforce this, well beacon object at summit. Advantages include visualization all user’s once, though there loss unified structur...
