Immersive visualization is a rapidly emerging field that utilizes VR/AR technologies to enhance data visualization by creating engaging, interactive, and spatially intuitive experiences. In this talk, I will discuss two of our team’s projects focused on evaluating 3D user interfaces in immersive visualization The first project investigates the effectiveness of 3D user interaction techniques on spatial working memory during 3D scatter plot exploration in immersive environments. The study examines how users retain and manipulate spatial data when navigating 3D datasets. The second project examines the perception of visual variables, such as length, angle, and size, on virtual wall-sized tiled displays within immersive environments. It further explores how 3D user interactions influence the interpretation of these visual variables.
Invited Guest small bio:
Dr. Isaac Cho is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Utah State University and the founding director of the Visualization and Mixed Reality Lab (VizUS) at Utah State University. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His primary research interests include Interactive Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, 3D User Interfaces, Data Visualization, and Human-Computer Interaction. Dr. Cho’s research has been supported by prominent U.S. government agencies and research institutions such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Additionally, he has contributed to the academic community by serving on the organizing and program committees of several prestigious international conferences, including IEEE Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces (IEEE VR), IEEE Visualization (IEEE VIS), IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), and IEEE Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality (IEEE AIVR), among others.
This seminar will take place at IEETA auditorium, at 11 a.m..
