Abstract
While the study of urban sensing tools has been a consistent focus of research within the environmental, earth, and citizen science communities, little attention has been paid on the development of on-site visualization techniques and methods for an interactive exploration of urban environmental data. Environmental data are generally visualized as tabular data or two-dimensional plots, which fails to enable an experiential visualization of the microclimate and thus prevents citizens from gaining a detailed understanding of the site-specific variability of pollutant concentrations and thermal comfort in their cities. This research explores three-dimensional immersive environmental visualization techniques to enable a user-friendly interactive analysis of the urban air quality data. The research focuses on the implementation of low-cost mobile urban-sensing technologies and immersive environmental data exploration mechanisms with the ambition to enable citizens to reframe their role in the politics of urban air quality.
