Why Use Immersive VRfor Visualization?
Hypothesis: Immersive virtual reality is better than conventional display
- being immersed in one’s data and model and having more fluid, body-centric interaction makes it easier to understand
- especially powerful when collaborators can share their real/virtual spaces
- Caves and Walls have more pixels than conventional displays
We want to replace anecdotal evidence by controlled experiments (despite the fact that people vote w/ their feet)
- NB: current generation of h/w & s/w may not yet be up to such comparison
