ImAxes: Immersive Axes as Embodied Affordances for Interactive Multivariate Data Visualisation
summary
ImAxes is a VR system that represents each data dimension as a 3D axis the user grabs with bimanual controllers (demoed on an HTC Vive and later with Oculus). A concise spatial grammar maps axis proximity and orientation to histograms, 2D/3D scatterplots, matrices and parallel-coordinates; linking rules create hybrid views. Emergent interactions include axis swiping for rapid comparison and twisting to resolve occlusion. Prototype handles a dozen dimensions smoothly; scaling to hundreds and formal user studies are planned.
