ABSTRACT
Geological fieldwork forms an integral part of science discovery, exploration, and learning in many geoscientific domains. Yet, there are barriers that can hinder its practice. To address this, prior research has investigated immersive geovisualisations, however, there is no consensus on the types of interaction tools and techniques that should be used. We have conducted a literature review of 31 papers and present the visualisation environments, interaction tools and techniques, and evaluation methods from this last decade. We found a lack of established taxonomy for visualisation environments; an absence of thorough reports on interaction tools and techniques; and a lack of use of relevant human-computer interaction (HCI) theories and user-centered approaches. This review contributes towards the development of a design framework as we propose a basic taxonomy; demonstrate the need for holistic records of user interactions; and highlight the need for HCI evaluation methods. Addressing these gaps will facilitate future innovation in the emerging field of immersive geovisualisations.

Stepping off a ledge in an HMD-based immersive virtual environment
SAP '13: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied PerceptionWe explore whether a gender-matched, calibrated self-avatar affects the perception of the affordance of stepping off of a ledge, or visual cliff, in an immersive virtual environment. Visual cliffs form demonstrations in many immersive virtual ...
Dyadic interactions with avatars in immersive virtual environments: high fiving
SAP '15: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Applied PerceptionCollaborative immersive virtual environments allow the behavior of one user to be observed by other users. In particular, behavior of users in such an environment is represented by each user possessing a self-avatar, a digital representation of ...
The effect of avatar model in stepping off a ledge in an immersive virtual environment
SAP '15: Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Applied PerceptionAnimated digital self-representations of the user in an immersive virtual environment, a self-avatar, have been shown to aid in perceptual judgments in the virtual environment and to provide critical information for people deciding what actions they can ...
