Temperature distribution in urban canyons is dynamic, complex, and influenced by a range of heat resources such as radiant heat from reflected sunlight and convective heat from wind flow. While 2D data collection and presentation are the norm for UHI research, we propose using an unmanned aerial vehicle to measure temperatures at different horizontal and vertical locations in urban canyons to develop a 3D visualization of urban thermal environments. We implemented Gestalt laws and transparent and opaque color-coding to improve background recognition and visual closure as well as to better represent the spatiality of temperature data. Our design included grouped color pixels and an interactive temperature slider function. We investigated whether interface usage varied with the flexibility of closure, perceptual speed, and spatial relations of users. Responses from 102 participants indicated that users with flexibility in closure approved of the transparent colors and slider. The primary advantage of this visual model is the elimination of clutter. Visual clutter can cause users to lose their focus when searching a 2D representation of a 3D geographic space. In the proposed model, data hotspots and the boundaries produced by multiple aggregations and clustering enable users to readily and easily find the required information.
