Exploring Large-Scale 3d Donation Networks: A Visualization System for Immersive and Playful Philanthropic Experiences

Abstract

Currently, there is a significant rise in the popularity of 3D donation programs, wherein numerous participants actively engage in mutual acts of charitable giving. Drawing upon extensive research conducted within these virtual philanthropic communities, we have developed and implemented a visualization system aimed at providing users with an immersive and playful experience while exploring and navigating large-scale 3D donation networks. Our design leverages familiar three-dimensional representations to introduce novel techniques for comprehending the interconnectedness of complex donation structures, supporting visual analysis and search capabilities, as well as automatically identifying and visualizing philanthropic clusters. Through public installations and controlled studies, our system has demonstrated its usability, ability to facilitate discovery, and potential for fostering enjoyable and socially engaging philanthropic activities.
