Immersive analytics has become a significant research field with applications in natural sciences, in contexts that require users’ exploration and understanding of three-dimensional spatial data. Yet, working in three dimensions is particularly challenging due to crowded, occluded, or even undefined 3D structures. Thus, exploratory visualization in immersive environments has attracted researchers’ attention. In this project, we will explore the collaboration structures of immersive visualization environments, for instance, environments (input and output devices), tasks (roles, private/shared views, and distributed work), collaboration (patterns, communication, and awareness cues) and exploration (visualization and interaction). Based on fundamental user studies, we aim to study design considerations for collaborative immersive environments. Our findings are expected to provide design guidelines which will benefit researchers in designing and evaluating immersive visualizations for data.
