“…Figure 2 shows that MR is everything between augmented reality (AR) and augmented vitality (AV). The main goal of MR is the creation of a big space by merging real and virtual environments wherein real and virtual objects coexist and interact in real-time for user scenarios [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Mixed Reality is a class of simulators that combines both virtual and real objects to create a hybrid of the virtual and real worlds [13].…”

Currently, new technologies have enabled the design of smart applications that are used as decision-making tools in the problems of daily life. The key issue in designing such an application is the increasing level of user interaction. Mixed reality (MR) is an emerging technology that deals with maximum user interaction in the real world compared to other similar technologies. Developing an MR application is complicated, and depends on the different components that have been addressed in previous literature. In addition to the extraction of such components, a comprehensive study that presents a generic framework comprising all components required to develop MR applications needs to be performed. This review studies intensive research to obtain a comprehensive framework for MR applications. The suggested framework comprises five layers: the first layer considers system components; the second and third layers focus on architectural issues for component integration; the fourth layer is the application layer that executes the architecture; and the fifth layer is the user interface layer that enables user interaction. The merits of this study are as follows: this review can act as a proper resource for MR basic concepts, and it introduces MR development steps and analytical models, a simulation toolkit, system types, and architecture types, in addition to practical issues for stakeholders such as considering MR different domains.

Immersive visualization is an emerging research field. It aims to make full use of human perception and operation capabilities through the immersion and engagement offered by the immersive interface to support data analysis, reasoning, and decision-making. The latest research on immersive visualization is reviewed. Firstly, the design and evaluation of the visual and non-visual perception in information visualization are introduced. Secondly, the newest interaction methods from the aspects of touch, gesture, gaze, and navigation are summarized. Afterward, the visualization authoring toolkit in terms of desktop, mobile, and mix terminals is overviewed. Finally, the industry trends, applications, and challenges of immersive visualization are discussed.

“…However, none of these libraries provides specific support for developing and designing visualization applications in XR. Moreover, designing visualizations in immersive environments can be complex, requiring consideration of issues such as occlusion, clutter, and user movement and interactions in 3D [36,46,62].…”

This paper presents DXR, a toolkit for building immersive data visualizations based on the Unity development platform. Over the past years, immersive data visualizations in augmented and virtual reality (AR, VR) have been emerging as a promising medium for data sense-making beyond the desktop. However, creating immersive visualizations remains challenging, and often require complex low-level programming and tedious manual encoding of data attributes to geometric and visual properties. These can hinder the iterative idea-to-prototype process, especially for developers without experience in 3D graphics, AR, and VR programming. With DXR, developers can efficiently specify visualization designs using a concise declarative visualization grammar inspired by Vega-Lite. DXR further provides a GUI for easy and quick edits and previews of visualization designs in-situ, i.e., while immersed in the virtual world. DXR also provides reusable templates and customizable graphical marks, enabling unique and engaging visualizations. We demonstrate the flexibility of DXR through several examples spanning a wide range of applications.
