Title
Immersion or Diversion: Does Virtual Reality Make Data Visualisation More Effective?
Abstract
When dealing with complex data, good visualisation tools are integral in efficiently inspecting trends and correlations. Virtual reality provides an opportunity to create a more immersive environment for users, utilising spatial awareness and depth perception. In this paper we investigate the effectiveness and usability of different systems using virtual reality and gesture control to visualise complex weather data. We propose three novel variants of our weather visualisation: a desktop-based application using an Xbox One Controller interface, and two virtual reality based applications, using an Xbox One Controller interface and a Leap Motion Interface. Our evaluation suggests that the Xbox One controller in combination with the VR display is most effective. Drawbacks of the gesture interface are its limited precision and reliably.
