DVAR: Data Visualization using Augmented Reality

Abstract

In this paper, we have discussed the use of augmented reality for data visualization. As we know that data is one of the most valued resources of today’s world, analysis of this data is a task of great importance. Multiple technologies have come up with data visualization for enabling accurate data analysis. Clearer the visualization the easier it is to perform accurate data analysis. Another technology that has grown vastly in various domains is Augmented Reality. It aims to bridge the gap between the physical and the digital world by introducing virtual elements into our environment. Our Implementation is a use case of AR technology in data visualization and analytics. Our proposed system uses mobile AR to perform data visualization giving more engagement and immersion to the users which can be used to gain more human insights over data such as trends and patterns that would otherwise get missed out in a depthless 2D visualization. We have developed an application as a prototype of our proposed system demonstrating different visualization techniques.
