Research of Immersive Geospatial Data Visualization based on Embodied Cognition

Abstract

Geospatial data is a kind of big data with large quantities and complex construction. The conventional statistical analysis method and data visualization cannot meet the requirements of information mining and analysis, while the immersive geospatial data visualization supports the immersive data analysis and can better guide users to make insightful analysis and decision. This study takes embodied cognition theory as the foundation and combines the principles of immersive analysis and geospatial visualization to proposes some strategies of immersive geospatial visualization design. Moreover, a case study is used to introduce the application of embodied cognition and immersive analytics.
