Extended Reality (XR), such as virtual and augmented reality, has huge potential for immersive data visualization and analysis. In XR, users can interact with data and other users realistically by navigating the shared virtual space, allowing for more intuitive data analysis. However, creating a visualization in XR also poses a challenge because complicated, low-level programming is required, which hinders broad adaptation in visual analytics. This paper proposes an interactive visualization authoring tool based on hand gesture for immersive data visualization-Gadget Arms. The proposed system provides a novel user interaction to create and place visualization in the 3D virtual world. This simple, but intuitive, user interaction enables user designs the entire visualization space in the XR without using a host computer and low-level programming. Our user study also confirmed that the proposed user interaction significantly improves the usability of the visualization authoring tool.

In the elementary mathematics, geometric education emphasize spatial sense and understandings of figures through development of intuitions in space. Especially space visualization is one of the factors which try conclusion with geometric problem solving. But studies about space visualization are limited to middle school geometric education, studies in elementary level haven't been done until now. Namely, discussions about elementary students' space visualization process and methods in plane or space figures is deficient in relation to geometric problem solving. This paper examines these aspects, especially in relation to plane and space problem solving in elementary levels. First, we investigate visualization methods for plane problem solving and space problem solving respectively, and analyse in diagram form how progress understanding of figures and visualization process. Next, we derive constituent factor on visualization process, and make a check errors which represented by difficulties in visualization process. Through these analysis, this paper aims at deriving an influence of visualization on geometric problem solving in the elementary mathematics.

Mathematical, verbal, and spatial abilities are known as three important indicators for the success in the STEM disciplines. In this study, Purdue Spatial Visualization Test-Rotation, College Entrance Scholastic Aptitude Test- Math and Verbal score of engineering freshmen students have been used to find the relationships among these areas. In addition, gender differences in spatial visualization, verbal achievement and mathematical achievement have been investigated, too. In this research, I found that gender difference was highest in spatial visualization ability, followed by verbal achievement and smallest in mathematical achievement. Substantial number of male students possess high level of spatial abilities, but only half of female students were at the same level where their male colleagues were. The correlation between spatial ability and mathematical ability was negligible, contrary to former researches on elementary and middle school students. But the correlation was stronger for female students than male students. The correlation between mathematical achievement and verbal achievement was negative. It reflects the fact that when one section of SAT score is low, score of other sections should be higher to get admitted to college. Gender difference in mathematics was smallest for high achieving spatial ability group. For low spatial ability group gender difference in mathematics achievement has been observed, too. To find the combined contribution of spatial and verbal abilities to mathematics achievement, students were divided into 4 ability groups. Mathematics achievement decreased in the order of (1) high spatial -low verbal group, (2) low spatial - low verbal group, (3) high spatial - high verbal group, (4) low spatial - high verbal group.

A typical approach to visualizing k (${\geq}2$)-group multidimensional data is to use Fisher's canonical discriminant analysis (CDA). CDA finds the best low-dimensional subspace that accommodates k group centroids in the Mahalanobis space. This paper proposes an alternative visualization procedure functioning in the Euclidean space, which finds the primary dimension with maximum discrimination of k group centroids and the secondary dimension with maximum dispersion of all observational units. This hybrid procedure is especially useful when the number of groups k is two.

공중공간은 평면에 비해 넓고 많은 항공기들이 고속으로 비행하고 있다. 더불어 항공사고는 바로 대형사고로 이어지므로 공중상황 통제의 중요성은 항상 강조되고 있다. 그러나 항공기는 3차원 공간에서 복잡한 패턴으로 비행하기 때문에 통제하기가 매우 어렵다. 통제를 위한 공중상황 정보는 시각화 시스템을 통해 제공되고 있으나, 이를 운영하는 통제요원의 경험, 인지능력이 공중상황판단의 결정적 역할을 하고 있다. 그래서 정확한 상황판단을 위한 정보제공이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 공중상황에 대한 정확한 정보제공을 위해 비행경로를 이용한 시각화 기법을 제안한다. 대부분의 항공기는 정지하지 않고, 급격한 상태전이 없이 이동하므로 과거 비행자료를 통해 미래의 비행상태를 예측할 수 있다. 즉 과거 상태정보와 현재 상황정보를 통합하여 시각화하면 비행패턴을 예측할 수 있어 정확한 공중상황 판단이 가능하다. 이를 위해 실시간 자료를 분석하여 동적자료를 구분한다. 동적자료만으로 상태전이자료를 생성하고 비행경로 상에서 색상과 도형 및 기호화를 통해 시각화한다. 비행경로와 색상 및 기호화로 제공된 상태전이 시각화 정보는 항공기의 상승/하강, 가속/감속, 직진/선회, 기타 상태전이정보와 바람의 방향과 같은 공중 공간의 상황정보 둥을 제공할 것이다. 이를 통해 운용요원은 공중상황을 정확히 인식하고 신속하게 판다하여 통제함으로서 공중안전을 도모하고 통제업무를 효과적으로 수행할 수 있을 것이다.

현재 증강현실 인터페이스 상의 정보시각화는 공간과 사용자 그리고, 구조를 적절히 반영하여 제공되고 있지 못한 실정이다. 증강현실이 만들어낸 현실과 가상의 병치된 공간 안에서, 인터페이스는 우리가 생활하는 물리적 공간 그 자체가 된다. 따라서 증강현실을 위한 UI를 구조화 할 때, 기존 인터페이스가 가진 특성을 AR공간안에서 재해석 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 증강현실 상 지능적 정보 시각화에 있어 고려해야 할 요소를 정보디자인의 설계 과정을 토대로 추출하여 AR공간에 특화된 UI구축의 방법론으로 제안하고자 한다.

The advancement and the spread of information and communication technology (ICT) changes the way we live and act. Computer and ICT devices become smaller and invisible, and they are now virtually everywhere in the world. Many socio-economic activities are now subject to the use of computer and ICT devices although we don't really recognize it. Various socio economic activities supported by digital devices leave digital records, and a myriad of these records becomes what we call'big data'. Big data differ from conventional data we have collected and managed in that it holds more detailed information of socio-economic activities. Thus, they offer not only new insight for our society and but also new opportunity for policy analysis. However, the use of big data requires development of new methods and tools as well as consideration of institutional issues such as privacy. The goals of this research are twofold. Firstly, it aims to understand the opportunities and challenges of using big data for planning support. Big data indeed is a big sum of microscopic and dynamic data, and this challenges conventional analytical methods and planning support tools. Secondly, it seeks to suggest ways of visualizing such spatial big data for planning support. In this regards, this study attempts to develop a dynamic visualization model and conducts an experimental case study with mobile phone big data for the Jeju island. Since the off-the-shelf commercial software for the analysis of spatial big data is not yet commonly available, the roles of open source software and computer programming are important. This research presents a pilot model of dynamic visualization for spatial big data, as well as results from them. Then, the study concludes with future studies and implications to promote the use of spatial big data in urban planning field.

The inner space of building is increasingly becoming complex as urban activities increase in variety, and the actual space size also increases. This trend necessitate the utilization of three dimensional position information within the inner space of buildings. Standard GIS web service technology and visualization technology are applied to 3D inner space building data to share these information for better decision making in building related applications such as fire evacuation, facilities management and market analysis. This study aims to effectively model and visualize the three dimensional space of building interiors in the GIS aspect, and to be able to share the information through standard GIS web service. The various elements of inner model was assigned and stored into pre-designed spatial database tables respectively. GIS web server was then configured to service the database which was populated with 3D inner model data. On the client side, 3D visualization modules was developed using a 3D graphic rendering S/W engine.
