    DGT-AR: Visualizing Code Dependencies in AR
    (2023) Dussan Freire-Pozo; Kevin Céspedes-Arancibia; Leonel Merino; Alison Fernandez-Blanco; Andrés Neyem; Juan Pablo Sandoval Alcocer
    Analyzing source code dependencies between components within a program is an essential activity in software development. While various software visualization tools have been proposed to aid in this activity, most are limited to desktop applications. As a result, the potential impact of augmented reality (AR) on improving dependency analysis remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we present DGT-AR, a node-link visualization tool for code dependencies in immersive augmented reality. DG T-AR extends the physical screen space of IDEs to the infinite virtual space. That is, developers neither have to sacrifice screen space nor leave the IDE and use third-party applications. We present the preliminary results of a pilot user study along with four key lessons learned. Additionally, we have made DGT-AR publicly available.
