Abstract
A new approach to visualization is described which places the user at the centre of this interactive, investigative process. This is achieved by integrating the immersive user interaction environment provided by a virtual reality system with the comprehensive visualization capability provided by two established data visualization systems. User's existing investment in visualization applications is thus protected while offering them a powerful new way of steering their investigations of complex data. This integrated environment has been specified and is being developed in a user-driven EU ESPRIT demonstrator project, VIVRE.
