IslandViz: A Tool for Visualizing Modular Software Systems in Virtual Reality

We propose the tool IslandViz for exploring modular software systems in virtual reality. We use an island metaphor, which represents every module as a distinct island. The resulting island system is displayed in the confines of a virtual table, where users can explore the software visualization on multiple levels of granularity by performing navigational tasks. Our approach allows users to get a first overview about the complexity of an OSGi-based software system by interactively exploring its modules as well as the dependencies between them.
