Abstract
We present a tangible interface for supporting wilderness search-and-rescue (SAR) managers in maintaining awareness of a large SAR incident, where there are numerous field teams searching for a lost person in a wilderness area. This interface consists of physical and digital representations of the search area and elements of the search activity (e.g., the locations of search teams, weather information, and clues from the field). It is intended to allow SAR managers to inspect information about the response and search area from different perspectives and aid them in planning by allowing them to physically manipulate the representations and explore the data through touch.
