Resumen:
We explore if and how immersive analytics, in particular AR and Sketch-Like Visualization, can be used to support the geologists? field workflow. Fieldwork involves careful observations and measurements in the field, the collection of rock and fossil samples and the recording of complementary information for further analysis. In the field, the workflow comprises in-situ hand drawing of sketches through careful observation of the area to be explored and the incorporation of all the data that the geologist collects in the field to these drawings. This implies that a constant association of 2D (sketch)-3D (real environment) information is being carried out at all times, taking into account a previously defined scale of work. Our main goal is to support the field workflow integrating the real environment with an automatically generated sketch to facilitate the geologists? fieldwork. Our system is based on an interactive AR approach on mobile devices. We evaluated the introduced approach using a real-life case study. User feedback and observations from our interdisciplinary team indicate the utility of the approach for the current case study as well as some shortcomings and areas for future research.
