title = "Ring graphs in VR: Exploring a new and novel method for node placement and link visibility in VR-based graph analysis",
abstract = "We present a new and novel graph visualization technique designed specifically for virtual reality (VR). Ring graphs organize graph nodes by categorical attributes along a ring that are placed in a sphere layout. Links between nodes are drawn within the rings using an edge bundling technique. This 3D placement of data takes advantage of the stereoscopic environment that VR offers. We conducted a user study that compared our ring visualization to a traditional node-based graph visualization and found that our ring graph method had higher usability, both in terms of accuracy in completing a set of tasks as well as lower task completion time.",
