Immersive Data Analysis for Planning Military Operations: Design and Think-Aloud Study
25TH SYMPOSIUM ON VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY, SVR 2023(2023)
摘要
The ability to visualize data in immersive environments offers new interpretations that directly impact the outcomes of activities such as military planning, where effective decision-making is vital for mission execution. This work aims to explore the application of VR in military planning as a tool that exploits a metaphor of the sandbox, the current planning approach adding increased possibilities of visualizing training range data in 3D. To achieve this, we designed and developed a prototype that includes a virtual terrain and miniature models and provides interactions based on the sandbox concept. To evaluate the prototype, a user study was conducted with army experts performing a planning task using both conventional methods and VR. Results indicate that VR is a viable alternative with an impact on the decision-making process during military planning. Future research should focus on assessing the effects of multiple conditions with a larger group of participants and investigating additional functionalities such as spatial perception.
