Zusammenfassung
In this paper, we summarize existing research on visualizing software as code cities with a focus on virtual and augmented reality technology (VR/AR). The review of existing knowledge shows that several of the hopes in VR/AR have not been fulfilled yet. A possible reason for that may be that existing means of visualization and interaction cannot simply be transferred one-to-one from desktop to VR/AR environments as our own research suggests. Moreover, we view the true potential of VR/AR in supporting the communication among multiple developers. All studies we are aware of have had a single developer trying to solve a given task. VR/AR can bridge spatial gaps and more research should be targeted at that particular advantage for distributed teams.
