Bending reality (Distortion & Abstraction)
Challenge: Route diagrams allow distortion . But only in one dimension – and without context information. GIS do not allow distortion at all.
geo.zpheres technology: A strength of schematic maps is the possibility to “bend the geographic truth”. Schematic views provide distortion and abstraction without limits!!
This can be extremely helpful to “zoom” into situations or to separate the important from the noise.
Using geo.zpheres, you can display condensed information (e.g. City Center) in a larger way and compress long distances into smaller ones – whatever you feel is necessary to display the information.
