We are living in the age where there is so much abundance of data that we have started referring as ‘Big Data’. With such tremendous amount of data, it is the need of the hour to visualize this data using cutting edge technology which will help Big Data visualization easier.
One such technology is Virtual Reality. With VR as the medium to visualize data, we will be able to immerse ourselves in the data, have more natural interactions and view multi-dimensional data in a much easier way. Some of the reason which conveys the exact reasons to use virtual reality for data visualization are mentioned below –
- More Space –
Imagine yourself completely surrounded by the visualization of the data. It’ll give you a 360-degree view in which the data can be visualized in a more visceral way.
- Lesser Distractions –
When your all your vision is covered with the visualization there are lesser possibilities of the distractions to deviate your attention from the main objective.
- Multi – Dimensional Data Analysis –
By adding different senses of sound and touch we can visualize data in various dimensions. With the current technology development, it is actually achievable to feel data by wearing the haptic feedback gloves.
- More Natural Interaction –
Keyboard and mouse interactions would be replaced with touch and movements. This will help us better perceive the data as we will be using more than one senses to visualize and analyze data.
