“…One approach to immersive analytic include Batch et al's work with ImAxes [5], [6] which focuses on immersive data visualization. Another unique approach which focuses on test-based data includes Space to Think [7] and Immersive Space to Think [8] which provide a vast amount of space for structuring the unknown by offering opportunities for distributed cognition [9]. These immersive analytic systems offer a way to externalize your memory into the environment.…”

“…In our work, we focus on a sensemaking task completed across three sessions to simulate a long-term sensemaking task that leverages that ability to externalize cognition into the environment. In this paper, we build upon an existing immersive analytic software prototype -Immersive Space to Think (IST) [8]. Using this software prototype, we conducted an exploratory threesession user study with the following goals: 1) Understand how immersive technologies affect the overall sensemaking task from foraging to presentation, 2) Understand users' 3D organizational structures and how they change over time, and 3) Understand how immersive technologies can be used in combination with more traditional computing technologies while completing the sensemaking task.…”

Existing research on immersive analytics to support the sensemaking process focuses on single-session sensemaking tasks. However, in the wild, sensemaking can take days or months to complete. In order to understand the full benefits of immersive analytic systems, we need to understand how immersive analytic systems provide flexibility for the dynamic nature of the sensemaking process. In our work, we build upon an existing immersive analytic system -Immersive Space to Think, to evaluate how immersive analytic systems can support longitudinal sensemaking tasks. We conducted a user study with eight participants with three separate analysis sessions each. We found significant differences between analysis strategies between sessions one, two, and three, which suggest that immersive space to think can benefit analysts during multiple stages in the sensemaking process.

This research explores visualisation and interaction techniques to disengage users from immersive virtual environments (IVEs) and transition them back to the Augmented Reality mode in the real world. To gain a better understanding and novel ideas, we invited eleven Extended Reality (XR) experts to participate in an elicitation study to design such techniques for disengagement. From the elicitation study, we elicited a total of 132 techniques for four different scenarios of IVEs: Narrative-driven, Social-platform, Adventure Sandbox, and Fast-paced Battle experiences. Through extracted keywords and thematic analysis, we classified the elicited techniques into six categories of Activities, Breaks, Cues, Degradations, Notifications, and Virtual Agents. We shared our analyses on users’ intrinsic motivation to engage in different experiences, subjective ratings of four design attributes in designing the disengagement techniques, Positive and Negative Affect Schedules, and user preference. In addition, we gave the design patterns found and illustrated the exemplary user cases of Ex-Cit XR. Finally, we conducted an online survey to preliminarily validate our design recommendations. We proposed the SPINED behavioural manipulation spectrum for XR disengagement to guide how the systems can strategically escalate to disengage users from an IVE.
