Project Description:

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. In this project, we will explore the collaboration structures of immersive visualization environments. 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.

Funding:

• The PhD studentship is available for three years subject to satisfactory progress by the student.
• The award covers tuition fees for three years (currently equivalent to RMB 80,000 per annum).
• It also provides up to RMB 16,500 to allow participation at international conferences during the period of the award.  

Project Description:

The motivation behind the project is the pressing need to interact with big 3D datasets and to provide tools to domain experts so that they effectively communicate their research insights. The amount of data produced by imaging systems is growing in size and complexity. Domain experts are analyzing and discussing the data, extracting useful information and insights. This project aims to address these exploration and communication challenges by developing effective interaction techniques for exploring 3D data and for creating data-driven stories.
