Abstract
This work presents and experimental comparison between 2D and 3D search and visualization platforms. The main objective of the study is two explore the following two research questions: what method is most robust in terms of the success rate? And, what method is faster in terms of average search time? The obtained results show that, although successful rates and subject preferences are higher for 3D search and visualization, search times are still lower for 2D search and visualization.
