Nonlinguistic disaster information sharing system including multidimensional objects: A proposal

This work aims to support disaster victims, including persons who do not understand local language and tourists, via the provision and collection of information when a disaster occurs. This nonlinguistic system, whereby users are able to understand information and the interface intuitively, has been constructed to convert linguistic information to pictograms and maps. As a result of evaluation, it was demonstrated that multidimensional information is also important for victims to share the information about disaster situation. Multidimensional information indicates scope, for example the condition of transport facilities. In this report, we propose a method to process such multidimensional information in our nonlinguistic approach.
