一句话：提出 XRaSE 原型，用增强现实把软件可视化为虚拟可触摸实体，使理解、架构分析与协作更直观。
软件工程在方法论、团队范式和系统规模上持续演进，但软件开发全生命周期中对软件的表示、讨论与协作仍主要依赖源代码、文本或 2D 屏幕上的图表，这长期限制了人们对软件系统的可视化与理解。本文提出 XRaSE，一个新颖的原型实现，利用增强现实将软件应用可视化为一种虚拟可触摸实体。该沉浸式方法旨在使应用理解、架构分析、知识沟通以及软件动态方面的分析等活动变得更直观、更丰富且更具协作性。论文报告了原型的设计与实现，但未给出大规模实证评估。
Software engineering has seen much progress in recent past including introduction of new methodologies, new paradigms for software teams, and from smaller monolithic applications to complex, intricate, and distributed software applications. However, the way we represent, discuss, and collaborate on software applications throughout the software development life cycle is still primarily using the source code, textual representations, or charts on 2D computer screens - the confines of which have long limited how we visualize and comprehend software systems. In this paper, we present XRaSE, a novel prototype implementation that leverages augmented reality to visualize a software application as a virtually tangible entity. This immersive approach is aimed at making activities like application comprehension, architecture analysis, knowledge communication, and analysis of a software's dynamic aspects, more intuitive, richer and collaborative.
