Abstract

The paper presents a prototype that implements multiple coordinated views to information visualization in augmented reality environments. Augmented reality provides more intuitive and easy interaction. It also reduces the limitations of visualization and enhances the collaborative aspect. A modified version of ARToolKit has been used to create the augmented environment, and the 3D scatter plot technique has been developed to represent the multiple views of data. The coordination between views supported dynamic queries, data selection, and the configuration of views and of the detail on demand feature. This paper also reproduces literature usability tests based on tasks in order to analyze the viability to implement multiple coordinated views in augmented environments for information visualization.
