Visualizing Large, Heterogeneous Data in Hybrid-Reality Environments

Abstract

Constructing integrative visualizations that simultaneously cater to a variety of data types is challenging. Hybrid-reality environments blur the line between virtual environments and tiled display walls. They incorporate high-resolution, stereoscopic displays, which can be used to juxtapose large, heterogeneous datasets while providing a range of naturalistic interaction schemes. They thus empower designers to construct integrative visualizations that more effectively mash up 2D, 3D, temporal, and multivariate datasets.
