    Geraldine Elliott, Director North Central Region, AHS 753 Crestwood Dr. Waukesha, WI 53188 262.547.8539 [email protected] A tax-exempt non-profit corporation founded in 1962 Greetings to All Harpists in the North Central Region. I am honored to be your Regional Director at this exciting time in the life of the American Harp Society. Please let me know how I can facilitate communications between and among harpists in the Region. This Newsletter is one means of spreading the word among all the chapters in the Region, but it comes only once a year. There will be a second, email-only, message in the spring, so it is vitally important that we have accurate email addresses for all harpists. We send this newsletter to let you know about harp-happenings that are closer and less expensive (some are even free!) than the National meetings that are coming up. Please let me know of new items that arise so I can include them in the spring email blast. And donʼt forget to send me your accurate email address. THE AMERICAN HARP SOCIETY 9TH SUMMER INSTITUTE AND 19TH NATIONAL COMPETITION JUNE 19-23, 2011 THE LYON AND HEALY AWARDS JUNE 18-19, 2011 DENTON, TX (DALLAS/FT. WORTH AREA) WWW.MUSIC.UNT.EDU/HARP The University of North Texas welcomes the American Harp Society to enjoy a wonderful week.

  • The 'When, How and What' of Text Based Wayfinding Instructions For
    The ‘when, how and what’ of Text Based Wayfinding Instructions for Urban Pedestrians William Mackaness1, Phil Bartie2, Candela Sanchez-Rodilla Espeso1 1School of GeoSciences, The University of Edinburgh, Drummond St, Edinburgh EH8 9XP 2School of Natural Sciences, Stirling University, Stirling FK9 4LA [email protected] Keywords: built environment, pedestrian wayfinding, landmark saliency, LBS 1.0 A Context – urban pedestrian wayfinding The smartphone has become a conduit by which we access many different services (Raper et al. 2007; Kray et al 2005) in many different ways (Shneiderman 2004). Increasingly wayfinding in urban environments is supported by smartphone technology using maps and images; these demand our full attention (Gluck 1991; May et al. 2003). But our ambition is technology that is concealed (Weiser and Brown 1998), delivering only spoken instructions (Bartie and Mackaness 2006; Mackaness et al. 2013), thus leaving the pedestrian ‘eyes free’ and ‘hands free’ to enjoy the city. As a precursor to their spoken delivery, we report on the evaluation of a text based system in which subjects were directed by a series of landmark based instructions or street based instructions that were geo-located. Section 2.0 describes the underlying model, Section 3.0 the experiment and subsequent feedback and analysis gained through: trajectory analysis, questionnaires and a focus group. 2.0 A City Model to support Landmark modelling and instruction construction A map is data rich (hence requiring a lot of cognitive effort), whilst a dialogue based system needs to be efficient, and minimalist (we don’t want to bore the pedestrian to death), yet sufficiently robust that the user does not get lost.
