Abstract: Immersive technologies have opened many opportunities for the visual analytics and visualisation community. However, despite an emerging focus on immersive analytics research, there is currently a lack of coherent and broadly applicable visualisation and interaction design in order to make immersive analytics systems productive and usable in real world scenarios. In this workshop, we propose to identify a road-map towards productive user interfaces for immersive analytics. In particular we aim to understand how we can effectively support specific visualisation and analytics tasks in VR/AR, and identify the interactions needed to support these. Our goal is to catalyse the research community and lead toward a reference paper to inform future research.
