Abstract
One impact of the digital transformation of industry is an increasing automation of business processes (BPs) and the accompanying need for business process modeling (BPM) and comprehension. The subsequent increased number of processes and process variants to cover all cases, their deeper integration with information services, and additional process structural complexity affects comprehensibility. While virtual reality (VR) has made inroads in other domains and become readily accessible as a graphical interface alternative, its potential for addressing upcoming BPM comprehension challenges has not been sufficiently explored. This paper contributes a solution for visualizing, navigating, interacting with, and annotating business process modeling notation (BPMN) models in VR. An implementation shows its feasibility and an empirical study evaluates the effectiveness, efficiency, and intuitiveness versus alternative model depiction modes.
