Abstract

In this paper we present initial research of the investigation in the design collaborative interaction modalities for classroom-based immersive visualizations of 3D spatial data, with an initial implementation for geo-spatial applications. Additionally we allowed some pilot testing to gain a sense of our design decisions and where user error might occur. Valuable feedback will allow us to redesign and refine implementation for a much more formal long-term evaluation of the system. Initial results give indications that our interaction modalities may facilitate teaching and learning, but the use of devices should be different for user type.
