Virtual and augmented reality technologies immerse users in a digital 3D space. Data can be visualised and interacted with as though they were real objects. This thesis investigates how conventional 2D surfaces can be used to support immersive analysis of data in three areas. First, how surfaces can support collaborative visualisation in a shared immersive 3D environment. Second, how data visualisations morph as they are physically moved between surfaces and space. Third, how surfaces and space can be used to facilitate data understanding. The thesis describes working prototypes and user studies that explore surfaces and space in all three areas.
