Abstract

Novel techniques of data visualization will be required to take full advantage of the advanced human-computer interaction technology now being developed as part of the virtual reality movement. In particular, meaningful three-dimensional representations will be of interest to users wishing to explore the data topology. An experimental system which offers a three-dimensional topology is presented in this paper; three sets of data representing interesting situations are described and viewed through the system.
