| Özet: | <p>Interactivity and narration are valuable strategies for enhancing cognitive load management in map animations. When integrated into a web mapping application, these elements provide a mixed approach, allowing for user and author control. However, users may need guidance when exploring large temporal datasets and animations. Current web mapping applications utilizing animations and interactivity often fail to provide users with a guided exploration experience, resulting in a lack of linearity. To fill this gap, in this paper we present an application that includes animations that depend on the user, which is guided to interact with a generalized time-aware layer representing active fires of 2023. The application is structured into successive animations, developed with the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript to ensure a structure based on successive animations and a well-defined resolution. Guidance is presented through text blocks positioned outside a 3D globe, while the narrative is conveyed through text blocks integrated on the globe’s surface. Thus, we constructed an application combining fragmentation, guidance, and interactivity to reduce the disadvantages of map animations created for storytelling. The suggested approach offers an alternative solution to non-interactive animations that overstimulate users with excessive information or for applications that prioritize only user control and exploration.</p> |
