<h3 class="western">Context</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">The aim of this workshop is to discuss 3D display
and 3D user interfaces for scientific and information
visualization and Visual Analytics.</font></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">As such, it is interesting to analyze the state of
the art in 3D visualization and associated interaction. It
is also the good place to review how 3D displays and user
interfaces match human perceptual, cognitive and motor
capabilities.</font></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">Indeed, it is the heart of the 2D vs. 3D debate. On
the one hand, 3D technologies provide additional options for
display and interaction, which broadens the space of
potential solutions considerably. Consequently, many 3D
visualization approaches have been implemented. The recent
introduction of low-cost virtual and augmented reality
hardware further paves the way towards a deeper exploration
of the design space for 3D visualization. Moreover, better
consistency in terms of dimensions between the visualization
and interaction may also improve the immersion and
navigation in huge amounts of data.</font></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">On the other hand, the experimental results from
studies that investigate the differences between 2D and 3D
visualization interfaces provide no real evidence for the
claimed benefits of 3D technologies. Thus, the current body
of literature provides at best inconclusive guidance on the
benefits of 3D approaches. Moreover, a deep consideration of
human abilities and capabilities identifies a potential
mismatch with full 3D user interfaces. Yet, there may be a
bias in the evaluations, as the prevalent visualization and
interaction techniques in all areas of visualization are
based on non-immersive technologies.</font></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">In this workshop, we would like to present evidence
for both sides of this debate, and also provide directions
for future work.</font></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="western">Description</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">This workshop is a satellite event of the IEEE VIS
2014 conference: </font><a href="http://ieeevis.org/"><font
style="font-size: 11pt" size="2">http://ieeevis.org/</font></a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">Although 3D interfaces may add additional
possibilities for data representation as well as more
natural interaction, current experimental results are
inconclusive and the adoption of 3D methods by end users is
rare.</font></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">This 2D vs. 3D debate, far from having a final
answer, is the focus of this workshop.</font></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.05cm"><font style="font-size: 11pt"
size="2">New low-cost 3D systems make this technology
accessible to everyone and also enable new modes of
interaction. This has the potential to facilitate
interaction with huge data sets.</font></p>
