AvatAR
An Immersive Analysis Environment for Human Motion Data Combining Interactive 3D Avatars and Trajectories
This paper presents AvatAR, an augmented reality (AR) environment for analyzing recordings of human motion data to gain insights into how humans utilize and interact with their surrounding environment. Using avatars, trajectories, and environmental visualizations (footprints, touchpoints, etc.), we make data not only explorable, but experienceable.

Analysis of human motion data can reveal valuable insights about the utilization of space and interaction of humans with their environment. To support this, we present AvatAR, an immersive analysis environment for the in-situ visualization of human motion data, that combines 3D trajectories with virtual avatars showing people’s detailed movement and posture. Additionally, we describe how visualizations can be embedded directly into the environment, showing what a person looked at or what surfaces they touched, and how the avatar’s body parts can be used to access and manipulate those visualizations. AvatAR combines an AR HMD with a tablet to provide both mid-air and touch interaction for system control, as well as an additional overview device to help users navigate the environment.We implemented a prototype and present several scenarios to show that AvatAR can enhance the analysis of human motion data by making data not only explorable, but experienceable
