“…The results demonstrate the challenges inherent in Web-based VR with frame rates dropping significantly over 1000 points for non-mobile set-ups, and at a slightly slower rate after 100 points for mobile. Nevertheless, the observed performance is very similar to the HoloLens condition reported for IATK [40]. It is also noteworthy that the choice of text rendering can also have a detrimental effect on performance This consequently has implications on labeling strategies required for 3D plots.…”

“…Cordeil et al [39] introduce an immersive system built in Unity called ImAxes, which has evolved to IATK [40], for exploring multivariate data using virtual axes that can be arranged and combined in virtual space, and viewed on VR and AR displays. IATK utilizes an expressive grammar supporting 1D, 2D and 3D orthogonal plots.…”

“…In this regard, in future versions of <VRIA> we endeavor to work at the Three.js level, as well as replace Redux with a bespoke state-management system. In addition, optimizing rendering mechanisms, such as via mesh and geometry merging to reduce draw calls, akin to the approach taken by Stardust [42] and IATK [40] would allow us to render more points with improved rendering performance.…”

We present , a Web-based framework for creating Immersive Analytics (IA) experiences in Virtual Reality. is built upon WebVR, A-Frame, React and D3.js, and offers a visualization creation workflow which enables users, of different levels of expertise, to rapidly develop Immersive Analytics experiences for the Web. The use of these open-standards Web-based technologies allows us to implement VR experiences in a browser and offers strong synergies with popular visualization libraries, through the HTML Document Object Model (DOM). This makes ubiquitous and platform-independent. Moreover, by using WebVR's progressive enhancement, the experiences creates are accessible on a plethora of devices. We elaborate on our motivation for focusing on open-standards Web technologies, present the creation workflow and detail the underlying mechanics of our framework. We also report on techniques and optimizations necessary for implementing Immersive Analytics experiences on the Web, discuss scalability implications of our framework, and present a series of use case applications to demonstrate the various features of . Finally, we discuss current limitations of our framework, the lessons learned from its development, and outline further extensions.

To decide on an experiment to carry out, a neuroscientist needs to understand existing relationships reported in the literature, and whether there is a lack of experimental evidence rather than a lack of causality.…”

We present a research proposal that investigates the use of 3D representations in Augmented Reality (AR) to allow neuroscientists to explore literature they wish to understand for their own scientific purposes. Neuroscientists need to identify potential real-life experiments they wish to perform that provide the most information for their field with the minimum use of limited resources. This requires understanding both the alreadyknown relationships among concepts and those that have not yet been discovered. Our assumption is that by providing overviews of the correlations among concepts through the use of linked data, these will allow neuroscientists to better understand the gaps in their own literature and more quickly identify the most suitable experiments to carry out. We will identify candidate visualizations and improve upon these for a specific information need. We describe our planned prototype 3D AR implementation and directions we intend to explore.

Functional narrative animation as visual feedback for interactions in 3D visualization

Visual feedback can help users understand the function, state, and outcome of a system during the pre-, mid-, and post-interaction phases. Current visual feedback in 3D visualization scenarios takes less account of information transfer in terms of appearance design and dynamic behavior, which results in visual feedback being presented in a more engineered form and conveying simple information. For these issues, we proposed the concept and method of functional narrative animation as visual feedback for interactions in 3D visualization. We also provided a set of Unity-based animation library and a plugin tool for configuring the animations. Finally, through user experiments and interviews, we analyzed the role of functional narrative animation as in the interactive visual feedback for 3D visualizations and make corresponding design recommendations.
