Viewing A Graph In A Virtual Reality Display Is Three Times As Good As A 2d Diagram, Colin Ware, Glenn Franck
Viewing A Graph In A Virtual Reality Display Is Three Times As Good As A 2d Diagram, Colin Ware, Glenn Franck
Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping
An experiment is reported which tests whether network information is more effectively displayed in a three dimensional space than in a two dimensional space. The experimental task is to trace a path in a network and the experiment is carried out in 2D, in a 3D stereo view, in a 2D view with head coupled perspective, and in a 3D stereo view with head coupled perspective; this last condition creates a localized virtual reality display. The results show that the motion parallax obtained from the head coupling of perspective is more important than stereopsis in revealing structural information. Overall the …

This paper introduces six graphical principles for 30 network displays. These are justified with examples from GraphVisualizer3D, a system developed by the authors to investigate the problems of 30 visualization of information networks. GraphVisualizer3D enables the exploration of sulface color, surface texture, object shape, arc shape and labeling conventions.
