contents Communicating the complexity of oceanic phenomena-such as hypoxia and acidification-poses a persistent challenge for marine science. Despite advances in sensing technologies and computational models, conventional formats like static visualizations and text-based reports often fall short in conveying the dynamics of ocean changes. To address this gap, we present OceanVive, an immersive and interactive visualization system that transforms complex ocean datasets into navigable spatial narratives. OceanVive incorporates an exploratory panel on a table-sized tablet for managing immersive content on a large screen and integrates adaptive visual encodings, contextual storytelling, and intuitive navigation pathways to support effective communication. We validate the system through expert interviews, demonstrating its potential to enhance science communication and promote deeper public understanding.
