[PDF] VRIA: A Web-Based Framework for Creating Immersive Analytics Experiences | Semantic Scholar (2024)

This work proposes an architecture for an authoring tool that allows users to create their own virtual experiences without the need for an extensive understanding of it and use them to create a virtual training exercise.

RagRug combines state of the art visual encoding capabilities with a comprehensive physical-virtual model, which lets application developers systematically describe the physical objects in the real world and their role in AR.

Three components that extend the functionality of A-Frame and Networked-Aframe are introduced and experimentally evaluated and the first one implements six degrees of freedom motion tracking for smartphone-based VR headsets and brings hand gesture support to the Microsoft HoloLens holographic computer.

A closer look at XVA is taken and the related literature regarding ways of establishing cross‐virtuality by interconnecting different stages in the reality–virtuality continuum is classified as well as techniques for transitioning and collaborating between the different stages.

iARVis is presented, a proof-of-concept toolkit for creating, experiencing, and sharing mobile AR-based information visualization environments, and a declarative approach for defining the augmented reality (AR) environment, including how information is automatically positioned, laid out, and interacted with is presented to improve the efficiency and flexibility.

The design philosophy of HiruXR is steered towards supporting responsiveness without putting all the burden in application developers, and some of these components for collaboration between VR and 2D devices are built.

This paper presents an analysis of view management techniques for situated 3D visualizations in handheld augmented reality: a shadowbox, a world‐in‐miniature metaphor, and an interactive tour.

Flex-ER, a flexible web-based environment that enables users to prototype, debug and share experimental conditions and results, is proposed and it is suggested that Flex-ER can be helpful to prototype and explore different interaction techniques for immersive analytics.

This paper presents X-Space, a tool based on HoloLens and Web bookmarks that can extend Web2D visualizations into mixed reality 3D space anywhere and anytime and equipped with a data API for existing tools for constructing 3D visualization.

ImmVis is presented, a novel open-source framework that enables IA applications to benefit from the data analysis capabilities from Python programming language well-established libraries.

The design of the prototype framework, <VRIA>, is outlined, which facilitates the development of VR spaces for IA solutions, which can be accessed via a Web browser and is built on emerging open-standards Web technologies such as WebVR, A-Frame and React.

This work explores the use of contemporary web-based technologies for the creation of immersive visualizations for handheld AR, combining D3.js with the open standards-based Argon AR framework and A-frame/WebVR.

DXR, a toolkit for building immersive data visualizations based on the Unity development platform, is presented, which can efficiently specify visualization designs using a concise declarative visualization grammar inspired by Vega-Lite.

This position paper outlines some of the questions and ideas the community has on future directions for the immersive web, and suggests additional web APIs and frameworks will need to be created or expanded to fulfill the promised of Web-based AR and VR.

Synthetic Visualizations are presented, which enable us to visualize in situ, data embedded in physical objects, using MR, and visualize said data in Mixed Reality (MR), using emerging web-technologies and open-standards.

This position paper presents the key features of mobile, immersive environments that are different from traditional visualization and visual analytics systems and a rich example set of capabilities and applications that address discovery and visual communication in real-world uses.

The design requirements, IATK's framework design and technical features, its user interface, as well as application examples, are outlined.

This prototype uses standards-based emerging frameworks, such as WebVR, and explores some the challenges faced by developers in building effective and informative immersive 3D visualizations, particularly those that attempt to resemble recent physical visualizations built in the community.

Some of the challenges faced by developers in working with emerging VR tools for the web, and in building effective and informative immersive 3D visualizations are explored.
