Interaction Geography

Explore how people move and interact across space and time

What is Interaction Geography?

A Visual Language for Movement and Interaction

Trace movement from video, import tracking data, or load GPS routes — then visualize it alongside conversation, audio, and more.

Interaction Geography Slicer (IGS)

Hours of activity compressed into seconds — animated paths reveal patterns at a glance

See how people move through space over time

Understand how the layout of a space shapes what happens inside it

Connect talk to place — see where dialogue happens and how conversations move

Layer video, transcripts, and movement together

How It Works

Choose a pathway based on the data you have

Trace movement by hand from video using Mondrian, then visualize with IGS.

Load position data from sensors or computer vision directly into IGS.

Import GPX, KML, or CSV from any GPS-enabled device — maps generated automatically.

Real-World Applications

Interaction Geography is being used across diverse settings, from classrooms to museums to virtual environments

Explore secondary math teachers' movement and use of space across different classrooms and countries.

Visualize visitor interactions and movement patterns in a cultural heritage museum.

Examine teacher and student gestures during elementary classroom activities.

Visualize interactions between students, teachers, and robots in computational learning activities.
