Abstract
The development of virtual reality provides opportunities for immersive information visualizations and therefore it is expected to facilitate the exploration and understanding of data. Hand gesture control enables intuitive interaction and thus it is suggested to amplify the level of immersion further. This paper conducts and experiment to identify a set of intuitive gestures when interacting with an information visualization. Participants are asked to provide hand gestures to given information seeking tasks in an interactive data visualization application in virtual reality that they did not know in advance. The results are analysed and findings with intuitive gestures are communicated and discussed.
