In this paper we present an augmented virtuality system with a set of tangible devices for interactive visualization with scientific data (volumetric scalar field data and molecular data). We describe the design concepts and application scenarios that underlie the development of the interfaces and system. The prototype system allows users to interact with scientific data by manipulating tangible devices, such as a graspable cube, pen and plane frame. These devices provide passive haptic cues that help the user to maintain position awareness and relative spatial relation during three-dimensional (3D) interaction. Active stereoscopic shutter glasses can be used to provide a 3D display, whenever necessary. We describe the differences with traditional fish tank and fully immersive virtual reality (VR) systems. At the end of the paper, we discuss the user experience and the research questions related to VR system with tangible interfaces for visualization application. Our planned activities for obtaining a more in-depth understanding of some of the usability issues involved through user study are described as well.
