Description

Virtual Reality (VR) has transformed data visualization by enabling immersive and interactive experiences. CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) systems provide a unique platform for exploring complex datasets in an intuitive, spatially immersive manner. However, a standardized pipeline for developing VR scripts tailored to CAVE-based data visualization remains underexplored. This paper presents a structured pipeline for creating and deploying immersive data visualization in CAVE systems, specifically using the WorldViz Prism CAVE environment. Our approach facilitates seamless integration of multi- dimensional datasets, enabling real-time interaction with 27 visual graphs within a single VR scene. The system allows dynamic graph manipulation, interactive exploration, and enhanced user engagement. By streamlining VR script development, this pipeline improves accessibility for researchers and practitioners, fostering a more intuitive understanding of complex datasets. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in enhancing data interpretability and decision-making.
