The objective of this research is to develop a web-based visualization tool that is used for analyzing an assembly in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. As a case study, we have generated a virtual reality environment for an assembly simulation of a zero-G treadmill for use on spacecraft. A series of controlled user studies has been done to investigate the role of different visual cues (image and text) on user performance while performing manual assembly in an immersive VR setting (VIVE headset) and a non-immersive environment (desktop). However, this paper focuses on a visualization tool that will help to understand and explore VR data. The goal of the tool is to support interactive analytic process of data collected from the assembly planning of complex systems.
