Abstract
We have developed several immersive fence diagrams which allow scientists to be surrounded by the glacier. Our work focuses on intuitive user interaction, similar to mobile map application controls, and hardware independence allowing greater access among the community. Users are able to navigate through physical motion, panning and adjusting scale allowing many areas of the glacier to be observed in relation to each other. We plan to add tools to allow annotations of the ice sheet layer to be made and visualized in order to trace layers throughout glaciers.
