我们提出了一个参与者的研究，比较生物数据的探索任务，使用体积渲染的激光共聚焦显微镜数据在三个环境中，不同程度的沉浸：桌面，鱼缸，洞穴系统。对于我们研究中使用的任务，数据和可视化方法，我们发现，与鱼缸和桌面相比，受试者在洞穴中的定性偏好和定量表现更好。受试者进行了现实世界的生物数据分析任务，强调理解空间关系，包括表征体积中的一般特征，识别同位特征，并报告几何关系，如细胞簇是否共面。在分析每个环境中的数据后，要求受试者选择他们想要分析的其他数据集的环境-受试者统一选择Cave环境。
We present a participant study that compares biological data exploration tasks using volume renderings of laser confocal microscopy data across three environments that vary in level of immersion: a Desktop, Fishtank, and Cave system. For the tasks, data, and visualization approach used in our study, we found that subjects qualitatively preferred and quantitatively performed better in the Cave compared with the Fishtank and Desktop. Subjects performed real-world biological data analysis tasks that emphasized understanding spatial relationships including characterizing the general features in a volume, identifying colocated features, and reporting geometric relationships such as whether clusters of cells were coplanar. After analyzing data in each environment, subjects were asked to choose which environment they wanted to analyze additional data sets in - subjects uniformly selected the Cave environment.
