Software Visualization on Heterogeneous Devices for Co-Operative Program Comprehension in Distributed Teams

在这个研究项目中，我们将研究如何使用现代软件可视化技术更好地支持分布式团队在软件维护和发展背景下的协作程序理解。我们将集成不同类型的设备，例如普通的桌面硬件（计算机、键盘和鼠标）和平板电脑，以及用于虚拟（VR）和增强（AR）现实的高级硬件，以便跨空间距离向分布式开发团队的成员提供统一、有用和准确的软件可视化。针对群体而非单个观察者的软件可视化尚未得到充分探索。

In this research project, we will investigate the question how collaborative program comprehension in distributed teams in the context of software maintenance and evolution can be better supported by using modern software visualization technology. We will integrate different types of devices such as normal desktop hardware (computer, keyboard, and mouse) and tablets as well as advanced hardware for virtual (VR) and augmented (AR) reality such that a uniform, useful, and accurate visualization of their software will be provided to the members of a distributed development team across spatial distances. Software visualization for groups instead of just single beholders has not been fully explored yet.
