NeoCITIES Geo-tools: Assessing Impact of Perceptual Anchoring and Spatially Annotated Chat on Geo collaboration

This paper describes the development and assessment of a scaled world simulation – NeoCITIES Geo-tools. The simulation and interface components were developed with the aim of improving team cognition, collaboration and performance by drawing on theoretical perspectives of visual analytics, perceptual anchoring and knowledge management. Qualitative evaluations of the simulation as well as quantitative evaluations of two key features – layer management tool and spatially annotated chat – are also discussed.
