Abstract
Guidelines for designing you-are-here (YAH) maps
aboard International Space Station (ISS) are proposed,
based on results from previous 3D spatial navigation
studies conducted by our research group and
colleagues. This paper reviews terrestrial YAH maps, the
common errors associated with them, and how to
appropriately implement what is known from terrestrial to
micro-gravity YAH maps. We conclude with a creative
example of an ISS YAH map that utilizes given guidelines
and information visualization techniques
