Immersive dashboards facilitate the presentation of large-scale complex data while offering natural interaction and real-time interactivity supporting immediate use. Few studies, however, have investigated the use of immersive dashboards to improve the visualization and analysis of abstract data. This study provides a systematic review of the literature on designing immersive dashboards for abstract data visualization and analytics. Twenty publications met the inclusion criteria. This review identifies guidelines for improving immersive dashboard design.
