A large number of approaches focus on the visualization ofscientiﬁcdatainimmersive environments while just a few methods concentrate on interactive information visualization (InfoVis) in an immersive environment, although InfoVis has been extended to the3-D space fora longtime. In the era of data explosion, the traditional 2-D space is unable to convey large amounts of abstract information in an intuitive way. Meanwhile, desktop-based 3-D InfoVis generally leads to visual conﬂict and confusion owing to limited display size and ﬁeld of vision. In this survey, we search for the interactive techniques inimmersive InfoVisand summarize their commonalities and discuss their differences and potential trends. The data types of abstract information in InfoVis can be categorized into graph/network data, high-dimensional and multivariate data, time-varying data, and text and document data. Besides, the visual presentation of information in immersive environments is also summarized, especially for charts, plots, and diagrams, which are some basic components ofInfoVis techniques. We also described the immersive applications of InfoVis techniques, including the tools or frameworks on immersive analytics and infographics. The discussion about the traditional nonimmersive and the immersive methods in data visualizations show that the latter one has the potential to become an alternative to explore massive information in the future.  \nIndex Terms—Extended reality (XR), immersive environment, information visualization (InfoVis), virtual reality (VR).  \nManuscript received23February2022;revised23May2022and7September 2022; accepted 28 September 2022 .
