Augmented Reality for Big Data Visualization: A Review

Abstract

Information delivery in a visual format is always a better way of communication. Even with many data visualization techniques available, visualizing enormous amounts of data has always been a challenge. With recent advancements in technology, many new visualization techniques unfold, one of which is visualizing data through Augmented reality(AR). AR and big data have always gone together as AR requires large data sets to render information virtually in a real-time environment, and big data provides the same. In this paper, we explore some of the conventional visualization techniques and discuss the scope and possibilities for AR data visualizations. We also explore the areas implementing the technique of visualizing big data with AR. The advantages and limitations are also discussed.
