Popis: Storyline visualization has emerged as an innovative method for illustrating the development and changes in stories across various domains. Traditional approaches typically represent stories with one line per character, progressing from left to right. While effective for simpler narratives, this method faces significant challenges when dealing with complex stories involving multiple characters, as well as temporal and spatial dynamics. In this study, we investigate the potential of immersive environments for enhancing storyline visualizations. We begin by summarizing the key design considerations for effective storyline visualization in virtual reality (VR). Guided by these principles, we develop 3DStoryline, a system that allows users to view and interact with 3D immersive storyline visualizations. To evaluate the effectiveness of 3DStoryline, we conduct a task-based user study, revealing that the system significantly enhances users' comprehension of complex narratives.
