Geovisual Analytics for Smart Cities: Designing and Developing a User Interface for an Immersive Environment

This proposal represents part of a doctoral thesis aimed at developing an interface for immersive environments, allowing for geovisual analyses targeted at smart cities, using digital twins to investigate flood-related data. The proper application of interface design in this environment enables an improved understanding and perception of emerging risks, which are crucial elements in flood risk management. For the 13 weeks of research, we propose planning, conducting, and analyzing interviews with Canadian users to identify the user profile in developed countries, aiming for a future comparison with the needs of users in middle-income countries. As a result, we expect to finalize the proposed research project with detailed documentation on the needs, functionalities, and specifications of users in this environment.
