Interactive volume rendering for immersive virtual environments
Immersive virtual environments (IVEs) are an appropriate platform for 3D data visualization and exploration as, for example, the spatial understanding of these data is facilitated by stereo technology. However, in comparison to desktop setu...
Comparison of interactive environments for the archaeological exploration of 3D landscape data
The increasingly widespread availability of high-accuracy terrain models is revolutionizing our understanding of historic landscapes across the globe, yet much of this inherently 3D data is viewed and analyzed using 2D Geographical Informat...
Interaction techniques as a communication channel when presenting 3D visualizations
In this position paper we discuss the usage of various interaction technologies with focus on the presentations of 3D visualizations involving a presenter and an audience. While an interaction technique is commonly evaluated from a user per...
On the use of 1D, 2D, and 3D visualisation for molecular graphics
Macromolecular structures have become easily accessible by means of large databases, for example the World Wide Protein Data Bank. Several years ago, existing data in this field of research was rare and demanded for specialists and experts ...
The evolution of three dimensional visualization for commanding the Mars rovers
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has built and operated four rovers on the surface of Mars. Two and three dimensional visualization has been extensively employed to command both the mobility and robotic arm operations of these rovers. Stere...
Spatial augmented reality — A tool for 3D data visualization
This paper presents a proposal for the use of Spatial Augmented Reality as a tool for 3D data visualizations. The use of traditional display technologies such as LCD monitors provides a fish tank metaphor for the user, i.e. the information ...
Does 3D really make sense for visual cluster analysis? yes!
Our paper takes the stance that a 3D shaded display can add a significant amount of information to the visualization of high-dimensional data. We believe that it makes better use of the innate cognitive capabilities of the human visual syst...
How to master challenges in experimental evaluation of 2D versus 3D software visualizations
Software visualizations in 3D and virtual reality are an interesting and debated research topic in academia. However, the benefits and drawbacks of 3D software visualizations in immersive environments compared to its 2D counterparts are not...
3D InfoVis is here to stay: Deal with it
3D information visualization has existed for more than 100 years. 3D offers intrinsic attributes such as an extra dimension for encoding position and length, meshes and surfaces; lighting and separation. Further 3D can aid mental models for...
Beyond the classical monoscopic 3D in graph analytics: An experimental study of the impact of stereoscopy
Popular in the nineties, 3D visualization has since garnered much criticisms. While historically the vast majority of 3D visualization evaluations have been based on the classical Brunelleschi's perspective rendering, today new questions ar...
