Recent years have seen fast growth in big data. The datasets are not only exponentially larger but also more complex (multi-dimensional). Because of the scale and complexity of these datasets, their visualization poses significant challenges. As a solution, virtual reality (VR) and 3D visualization can be used to visualize complex and large datasets and proposes a visualization system for designing visualizations in VR.
This project examines concepts of information visualization, VR, and 3D information visualization. It also explores visualization systems for 3D visualization by introducing VR-Viz, a library for developing information visualization in VR.
VR-Viz is a Web-based framework for creating Immersive Analytics (IA) experiences in Virtual Reality. It combines A-Frame with React (for DOM manipulation) and D3 (for data visualizations). It provides a JSON syntax for generating visualizations. The project is an open-source library. The library aims to simplify the process of creating information visualization in VR for users of all expertise levels.
