Maps are a reference to real-world objects. They help us navigate and make sense of the world by providing a list and locations of places and objects and a drawing to understand the attributes of objects invisible to our eyes. The height and contours of a mountain, the dimensions of a property, all relevant to help understand the environment. However, if this geospatial information is to help the user with situational awareness and operational intelligence in their current location, real benefits will be gained to deliver this data as a digital overlay on a smartphone or ultimately smart glasses for a heads up access. Apart from accessibility improvements, Immersive environments have also been proved to increase information retention after six months by 20%.
