Softplane:Information Visualization on mixed-reality platforms

Abstract

This thesis examines the relevance and impact of Mixed Reality in near-future scenarios and investigates how Mixed Reality can be presented across different platforms. Using the Research through Design method, I created prototypes to probe various design aspects and gain insights into scenario environments and users involved. I developed an interactive prototype and speculative videos to refine the information currently presented, propose situated content visualization, and enrich the visualization format. The outcome suggests that Mixed Reality has great potential for enhancing user experience and providing new opportunities for complex information visualization.
