Immersive Visualisations in Design: Using Augmented Reality (Ar) for Information Presentation

Abstract

Immersive visualisations introduce new possibilities for experiencing design, and as such for presenting information. To date, studies in design have focused mostly on immersive visualisations supporting product decisions. However, little attention has been paid to information presentation, e.g. in design reviews, for decisions in the boardroom, and/or for client presentations. This study with industry practitioners identifies information presentation practices and challenges, develops an immersive visualisation prototype, and explores opportunities for the use of immersive visualisations.

Assessing Immersive Analytics to Guide Decision-Making in the Railway Safety Sector

“…They also stated that mapped data points allow users to understand better the events taking place in the selected area of the railway. This statement has also been confirmed by Bravo & Maier [17], who expressed that immersive systems improve the understanding of data. Despite considering 3D visualizations more straightforward, only the analyst stated that he preferred to interpret data in 2D.…”

“…In the literature review, the limitations and shortcomings of traditional information visualizations are analyzed [5,6,11], how the transformation of information from data interpretation to decision making occurs [9,12,13] and what actors are involved in this process [5,14]. Moreover, the capabilities and potential of immersive systems for information visualization to lay the foundations for creating the prototype have been documented [1,7,8,15,16,17].…”
