数据物理化（3D打印的地形模型，解剖学扫描甚至抽象数据）自然可以以难以或不可能与传统的平面触摸屏甚至沉浸式数字显示的方式来吸引视觉和触觉感官。然而，使用当今最常见的3D打印机产生的刚性3D物理化在根本上是限制的，这些探索和查询任务需要动态输入（例如触摸传感）和输出（例如动画），这些功能很容易通过数字显示来处理。我们介绍了一种新颖的混合虚拟 +物理可视化，专门旨在支持交互式数据探索任务。我们的方法致力于“两全其美”的解决方案，融合了沉浸式AR，物理3D数据打印输出以及通过物理化的触摸感应。我们证明，该解决方案可以支持科学可视化中使用的三个最常见的空间数据查询相互作用（简化播种，动态切割位置和世界内部的可视化）。最后，我们介绍定量性能数据，并描述了与域科学家的反馈有关的主动研究超级计算机气候模拟数据的探索性可视化。
Data physicalizations (3D printed terrain models, anatomical scans, or even abstract data) can naturally engage both the visual and haptic senses in ways that are difficult or impossible to do with traditional planar touch screens and even immersive digital displays. Yet, the rigid 3D physicalizations produced with today's most common 3D printers are fundamentally limited for data exploration and querying tasks that require dynamic input (e.g., touch sensing) and output (e.g., animation), functions that are easily handled with digital displays. We introduce a novel style of hybrid virtual + physical visualization designed specifically to support interactive data exploration tasks. Working toward a "best of both worlds" solution, our approach fuses immersive AR, physical 3D data printouts, and touch sensing through the physicalization. We demonstrate that this solution can support three of the most common spatial data querying interactions used in scientific visualization (streamline seeding, dynamic cutting places, and world-in-miniature visualization). Finally, we present quantitative performance data and describe a first application to exploratory visualization of an actively studied supercomputer climate simulation data with feedback from domain scientists.
