ExplorViz supports research on software visualization, software comprehension tasks and software collaboration. To achieve this, ExplorViz provides multi-level visualization from the software landscape layer toward the level of individual software applications. Via immersive 3D visualizations in virtual reality, ExplorViz also supports collaboration in software development teams. The research tool development commenced in 2012, and grew toward a powerful, extensible open-source software that has been employed in a variety of software engineering research projects. In this paper, we review its history, development and research impact.
