CDVVAR: VR/AR Collaborative Data Visualization Tool

The emergence of immersive platforms has opened room for designing more effective data visualization tools. Therefore, we developed CDVVAR, a VR/AR collaborative tool that can visualize any dataset using three different techniques. Our prototype enables users to share graphs and highlight (ping) specific data point across VR or mobile AR platforms. We conducted a within-subject study (12 pairs) to evaluate the effectiveness of our prototype. Each pair was shown graphs and asked to point specific data values in both VR and mobile AR setup. The time to collaboratively answer the questions was recorded along with users’ general feedback.
