Abstract
This paper introduces SONA (Spatiotemporal system Organized for Natural Analysis), a tabletop and tangible controller system for exploring geotagged information, and more specifically, CCTV. SONA's goal is to support a more natural method of interacting with data. Our new interactions are placed in the context of a physical security environment, closed circuit television (CCTV). We present a three-layered detail on demand set of view filters for CCTV feeds on a digital map. These filters are controlled with a novel tangible device for direct interaction. We validate SONA's tangible controller approach with a user study comparing SONA with the existing CCTV multi-screen method. The results of the study show that SONA's tangible interaction method is superior to the multi-screen approach, both in terms of quantitative results, and is preferred by users.
