Real-time visualization reconstruction in a real-world environment using Augmented Reality.

Even with the growth of digital data sources and support for creating visualizations, much information disseminated in chart format is still static, whether printed or digital. Some common problems of visualization components can be easily corrected on the chart design using a charting tool, but in the real world, mainly in the printed media, it is not a simple task. We investigate a method to reconstruct visualizations in real-time and in a real-world environment using Augmented Reality. We propose a prototype that interacts with extracted data from a bitmap chart in the real world, and we evaluated it with usability experts. The results show a high degree of satisfaction on many factors, mainly filter usage and valuable feedback about interaction.
