Our working group is (slightly hyper) active in the upcoming ISPRS congress starting next week!

We start with a tutorial on eye movement analysis for imagery and 3D models, continue with two theme sessions perceptual and cognitive experiments and smart cities, and finish with two more sessions we organized on geographical visualization and virtual reality.

Tutorial & Oral sessions:
(also see our interactive sessions)

On Tuesday (12 July) 08:30-12:00 Raechel Bianchetti and I (Arzu Çöltekin) are offering a tutorial titled, Usability methods and eye movement analysis for understanding the use of remotely sensed imagery, 3D geovisualizations and virtual reality. Tutorial will consist of lectures and a hands-on session.

On Wednesday (13 July) 16:30 – 18:00, our theme session on Perceptual and Cognitive experiments with imagery and 3D models will take place. Session features the following oral presentations (also see our interactive sessions)
