  1. Is 3D-Visualization useful for Software Visualization? Hans Hagen (TU Kaiserslautern, IRTG 1131) Dirk Zeckzer (Fraunhofer IESE, IRTG 1131)

  2. Software Visualization • Visualization of • Software Products • static structure • dynamic behavior • algorithms • metrics • Software Processes • Software Projects

  3. Software Visualization: State of the Practice • Box-Plots • Pie-Charts • Histograms • Bar-Charts • Scatterplots • Stacked bar-charts

  4. Software Visualization: State of the Art • Mostly 2D visualizations • 3D visualizations • Presented on conferences and workshops • Not widely used or extensively developed • Users are reluctant to use such visualizations • Notable exception: 3D-Scatterplots (Miner3D)

  5. 3D Software Visualization: Hardware • 1990s • Display techniques not yet mature • 2000+: Display techniques improved • Higher resolution • Better and easier calibration • Stereo-Techniques

  6. 3D Software Visualization: Challenges • 1990s • Extensive research • Little user acceptance • 2000+: • Less research (InfoVis) • Better hardware and display techniques should further user acceptance • New studies are encouraging (Ware 2005)

  7. 3D Software Visualization: Challenges • Use new, improved techniques • Reevaluate previous techniques using current display technology • Optimize previously developed 3D visualization techniques • Develop new 3D visualization techniques and interaction metaphors
