Thema: DeskVR: Seamless Integration of Virtual Reality into Desk-based Data Analysis Workflows

Abstract:

In this work, we are looking into the possibilities and unique challenges

virtual reality today offers for (office) desk-based scenarios, as

they are ubiquitous in data analysis.

We characterize the scenario, introduce the term deskVR, and name

the technical challenges that come with it. Furthermore, we tackle

specific demands in two pillars of interaction in virtual reality,

selection & manipulation, and navigation. Then, we investigate

passive and active methods to prevent and reduce cybersickness, as

for us, tackling cybersickness is one – if not the most – critical tasks

that have to be solved to integrate virtual reality into everyday life

successfully. Finally, we apply the methods and findings made in this

thesis to a prototypical application framework for immersive 3D

graph exploration, serving as proof of concept for the integrability of

virtual reality into desk-based working scenarios. In the graph

visualization domain, we then also propose new vertex positioning

and edge bundling methods that address challenges arising with the

performed up-projection into 3D interactive space.
