Abstract :
There is increasing use of coordinated and multiple views for the study of complex data. We discuss the use of multiple coordinated views as an aid to navigation and orientation through three-dimensional virtual environments. Such virtual environments have many applications including military, medical and educational uses. We determine whether there is an ease of navigation and orientation arising from offering users multiple views.
