| Description | This research explores the transition of cartographic visualization from 2D to immersive virtual reality (iVR), enhancing 3D visualization capabilities. With advancements in computer technology and GIS, cartography adopted the third dimension but was limited by 2D interfaces such as monitors and keyboards. iVR technology offers a true 3D experience with intuitive interactions like hand gestures, enabling a deeper perception of spatial data through "six degrees of freedom." Despite its potential, iVR poses challenges that include user adaptation and physical side effects. This study presents a platform developed in Unity to test 3D cartographic visualizations in iVR, focusing on dynamic user interaction and analysis of geodata. A pilot study evaluates these methods against traditional approaches, aiming to enhance empirical research and design in immersive geographic environments. |
