This research, formatted as an exploratory study, attempted to investigate perceptions concerning the consequences of redlining and structural racism in housing valuation via three-dimensional (3D) visualization models. Unity3D and Mapbox SDK for Unity were used to visualize two neighborhoods in the Bronx County of New York; single or multiple dimensions of visualization to represent both racial differences and the presence of condominiums in the respective neighborhoods were used, and a survey was conducted to capture perceptions of seventeen models. Thirty-three respondents participated in a user study to capture perceptions of the visualizations, and responses generally favored the use of multiple dimensions of congruent visualizations. This work attempts to encourage future 3D visualization techniques to encourage an interactive understanding of structural racism.
