Helton University of Canterbury Christchurch, New Zealand deak.helton@canterbury.ac.nz Mark Billinghurst University of Canterbury Christchurch, New Zealand mark.billinghurst@canterbury.ac.nz Abstract Improvements in navigation technology have made pedestrian guidance so easy, concerns have been raised over possible negative consequences. In particular, users may lose the ability to form mental maps, which may result in an undesired dependency on navigation tools. It has been proposed that better spatial awareness may be achieved by forcing users to expend greater effort in the navigation process. However, this runs against the general concepts of usability which seek to increase ease-of-use. Prior studies have either been inconclusive or profess to have created effort-inducing features that may not appeal to users. Practical usability is one focus of our research and we present an interface that addresses this focus while balancing navigation efficiency with acquisition of spatial knowledge. We report on promising preliminary results of observed user-tool interaction while we continue to collect data
