Accessing and manipulating multidimensional geotemporal data in contexts other than the traditional desktop workstation remains challenging despite the variety of mobile devices available to users, no matter their expertise. In collaboration with researchers at BRGM, this project aims to explore the specific case of geologists when they work in the field but still need access to their data and to tools that enable them to capture their observations, compare them with existing data, and iteratively sketch terrain models. Our goal is to develop knowledge and tools to effectively support the creation, long-term reuse and access to those data before, during and after field trips. The project brings together researchers from multiple domains at Inria – Data and Knowledge Representation and Processing; Geometry and Modeling; Interaction and Visualization – and multiple departments at BRGM.
