Multi-touch technology creates a new era of human- computer interaction
Its combination with GIS can help common GIS overcome some defects
and then achieve more humanized multi-touch GIS
With the gradual popularization of multi-touch devices
multi-touch GIS will come to be the mainstream in the future
In order to
analyze the structure
explore its design methods
after learning of research achievements in related domain
, including some multi-touch GIS software
this paper firstly put forward some defects of common GIS
caused by traditional hardware and interaction pattern
then analyzed the main characteristics of multi-touch GIS
and then
studied the basic framework and the products of multi-touch GIS currently
at last
explored and put forward some helpful design methods
and principles of multi-touch GIS
from the aspects of user interface
hand gestures
data organization and visualization
