<\/a>I think that story lines are Heganoos<\/em> speciality.\u00a0Some of the alternatives to Heganoo<\/em> are Neatline<\/em>, which specializes in compiling information and allowing the user to explore independently, \u00a0and History Pin<\/em>, which makes historical comparisons easy by overlaying historical images onto Google Maps.\u00a0\u00a0Heganoo<\/em>\u00a0does not incorporate ambiguity or allow user interaction, which Bethany Nowviskie considers to be important attributes of \u00a0Neatline<\/a>. Instead, similar to Charles Cunningham’s “21 Steps<\/a>,” Heganoo<\/em> guides the user along a constructed story path and compartmentalizes information in order for it to be easily understood.<\/p>\n Not only could the stories of Davidson fires be told using another mapping tool, they could also have been told without maps altogether.\u00a0However, as\u00a0Farman argues in his article<\/a>, \u201cSite-Specificity, Pervasive Computing and the Reading Interface,\u201d there is an importance in site-specificity and\u00a0including the locations of the fires adds another dimension to the experience of the stories. In my exhibit,\u00a0in addition to learning the details of each fire and some specifics about each building, knowing the location of each building allows the user to get a better sense of campus. For example, the location of older fires allows the user to get a sense of the old campus and the newer fire in Belk informs the user about how the college expanded down the hill. Additionally, the map enables the user to locate other buildings on campus, such as the church from which people ran to save the burning Watts dormitory.<\/p>\n In conclusion, I feel that\u00a0Heganoo<\/em> is the best application for presenting project similar to the exhibit I created that features the locations and stories about burning down Davidson College.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this exhibit, I use\u00a0Heganoo, which advertises itself as a “personalized interactive mobile map” to create a story about the fires that have occurred on Davidson College’s campus. Although\u00a0Heganoo\u00a0is limited in terms of overlaying historical images and maps on to current day scenes and creating a data-thick map, it is a useful tool to provide … <\/p>\n
