Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a postgrad student from University of Tampere and my field of research is pedestrian wayfinding and how it can be supported with multimodality. Currently I work in a research group called SPI (Speech-based and Pervasive Interaction Group, http://www.uta.fi/sis/tauchi/spi/index.html). For the last year I have been working in a project called Active Learning Spaces (http://www.uta.fi/sis/tauchi/mmig/projects/aktiivitilat/active_learning_spaces.html) where we have created a system called City Compass. Here is a demonstrational video of the application:

We have used this system for studying landmark-based navigation in virtual environments and also have some other research setups in mind for the future.
Our University funds short visits to universities and faculties that do similar research, and once I found your website I immediately noticed some similarities between your experiments and our work. Would you be interested in taking me as a guest at your facilities at some point next year? I am very open and flexible with scheduling and program of the visit.
Best regards,

I’m writing my Master Thesis in Design and Innovation at the Technical University of Denmark. The project title is Neuro-inspired design used for creating wayfinding-systems in a stroke rehabilitation setting. The objective of this project is to explore the psychological and the neurological functions relevant to navigation, and how wayfinding-systems can be designed to help orientate stroke patients.
Please let me know if you have some research about this topic?
Kind regards,
Pernille
