Abstract
This paper describes a minimally immersive three-dimensional volumetric interactive information visualization system for management and analysis of document corpora. The system, SFA, uses glyph-based volume rendering, enabling more complex data relationships and information attributes to be visualized than traditional 2D and surface-based visualization systems. Two-handed interaction using three-space magnetic trackers and stereoscopic viewing are combined to produce a minimally immersive interactive system that enhances the user's three-dimensional perception of the information space. This new system capitalizes on the human visual system's pre-attentive learning capabilities to quickly analyze the displayed information. We describe the usefulness of this system for the analysis and visualization of document similarity within a corpus of textual documents.
