Additional Description

Abstract

MapSketch is a low cost interactive tabletop display. Designed for an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), it allows users to create digital markup data on paper and digital maps. This markup data is a small file that can be sent to responders in the field or another EOC. MapSketch uses paper and marker interface instead of the traditional computer or laptop graphical interface.
