VR-Explorer: A Demonstration of a Virtual Reality Interactive Data Exploration System

Interactive Data Exploration (IDE) is a common way to comprehend large volume datasets, which can help user gradually discover his/er data interest. The core idea of IDE is discovering user’s data interest through multiple rounds of user interactions, such as labelling data tuples. However, there is still a gap between IDE and users, especially the lack of user interactivity research and data representation design. In this work, we designed and implemented VR-Explorer, an virtual reality interactive system on data exploration that connects IDE with VR technology. We designed virtual interactive interfaces for each exploration step according to the workflow of IDE and demonstrated the good usability of VR-Explorer through a study.
