Existing research on immersive analytics to support the sensemaking process focuses on single-session sensemaking tasks. However, in the wild, sensemaking can take days or months to complete. In order to understand the full benefits of immersive analytic systems, we need to understand how immersive analytic systems provide flexibility for the dynamic nature of the sensemaking process. In our work, we build upon an existing immersive analytic system - Immersive Space to Think, to evaluate how immersive analytic systems can support sensemaking tasks over time. We conducted a user study with eight participants with three separate analysis sessions each. We found significant differences between analysis strategies between sessions one, two, and three, which suggest that immersive space to think can benefit analysts during multiple stages in the sensemaking process.
现有的关于支持理解过程的沉浸式分析的研究主要集中在单阶段理解任务上。然而，在实际情况中，理解可能需要数天或数月才能完成。为了全面了解沉浸式分析系统的优势，我们需要了解沉浸式分析系统如何为理解过程的动态特性提供灵活性。在我们的工作中，我们基于现有的沉浸式分析系统——“沉浸式思考空间”，来评估沉浸式分析系统如何长期支持理解任务。我们对八名参与者进行了一项用户研究，每位参与者都有三个独立的分析阶段。我们发现第一、第二和第三阶段的分析策略存在显著差异，这表明“沉浸式思考空间”在理解过程的多个阶段都能使分析师受益。
