论文摘要
本文介绍了身临其境的人道主义可视化，作为信息可视化中有前途的研究领域。人道主义可视化是旨在促进人类福利的数据可视化。本文解释了为什么要广泛采用的沉浸式展示技术（例如虚拟现实，增强现实，环境展示和物理表现）为人道主义可视化开辟了一系列机会。特别是，沉浸式展示提供了使远程和隐藏的人类苦难更加突出的方法。他们还提供了传达定量事实以及定性信息和内脏经验的方法，以提供对人道主义问题的整体理解，这些问题可以支持更明智的人道主义决定。但是，尽管有一些有希望的初步工作，但身临其境的人道主义可视化尚未作为研究主题。本文的目的是鼓励，激励和激发该领域的未来研究。
This paper introduces immersive humanitarian visualization as a promising research area in information visualization. Humanitarian visualizations are data visualizations designed to promote human welfare. This paper explains why immersive display technologies taken broadly (e.g, virtual reality, augmented reality, ambient displays and physical representations) open up a range of opportunities for humanitarian visualization. In particular, immersive displays offer ways to make remote and hidden human suffering more salient. They also offer ways to communicate quantitative facts together with qualitative information and visceral experiences, in order to provide a holistic understanding of humanitarian issues that could support more informed humanitarian decisions. But despite some promising preliminary work, immersive humanitarian visualization has not taken off as a research topic yet. The goal of this paper is to encourage, motivate, and inspire future research in this area.
