It is common to advise against using 3D to visualize abstract data such as networks, however Ware and Mitchell's 2008 study showed that path tracing in a network is less error prone in 3D than in 2D. It is unclear, however, if 3D retains…
When humans perform a task, such as playing a game, they selectively pay attention to certain parts of the visual input, gathering relevant information and sequentially combining it to build a representation from the sensory data. In this…
