  5. 4. 2D or not 2D: Assessing environmental awareness and cognitive load in mixed reality data visualizations : Visualizing gas leak data visualizations for an industrial surveying setting

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Författare :Julia Schwuchow; [2023]
    Nyckelord :environmental awareness; cognitive load; information visualization; mixed reality; sustainable HCI; miljomedvetenhet; kognitiv belastning; informationsvisualisering; mixad ¨ verklighet; hallbar MDI;

    Sammanfattning : Increasing the environmental awareness of invisible data, such as a city’s air pollution or a household’s energy consumption, has been an ongoing information visualization challenge that has entered the fields of immersive technologies like augmented (AR) and mixed reality (MR). In order to understand how form and dimensional affect this understanding for MR environments, this research investigated what the difference between statistical, iconographic 2D and physical 3D visualizations is with regards to minimizing cognitive load and fostering environmental awareness.
