[POSTER] HoloBee: Augmented Reality Based Bee Drift Analysis

In this paper, we introduce HoloBee, a visual analytics system that enables end users to analyse bee drift data using HoloLens as a head mounted augmented reality interface. HoloBee was designed to allow for interactive exploration of bee behaviour and specifically bee drift: the phenomenon of a bee leaving a hive and returning to another hive. For exploration in the bees' natural environment, bee drift is visualised as arcs connecting bee hives positioned in 3D geospatial maps. We describe in detail the design aspects of HoloBee, including command language, system feedback, and information display. We discuss the unique capabilities and limitations of the HoloLens as a guide to other researchers who intend to use it for visual analytics of spatio-temporal scientific data.
