This is the presentation I delivered at ENTER2011 presenting the work I started with at the John Kent Institute in Tourism, Bournemouth University. The proposal I submitted there won the first prize of the PhD Workshop. Even though my ideas have changed since then I really like this presentation as it explains what I was planning to focus on then - three dimensional maps and how we can make them more context aware and adaptive.
