๐จ What is it about?
Search and rescue operations rely on fast and accurate spatial communication between commanders and field teams, often under severe time pressure and with asymmetric information. While maps are central to this process, traditional paper-based sketching struggles with 3D environments and remote collaboration.
We present CoMap, a collaborative 3D sketch mapping system, validated through a virtual reality fire-rescue game. In a controlled study with 13 commanderโfield team pairs, CoMap enabled more accurate and efficient spatial communication than conventional 2D sketch mapping and fostered more proactive communication strategies.
The paper also distills three design implications for future mapping tools to support SAR training and real-world operations.
