Stream Immersive is a platform that focuses on immersive information visualization for augmented actuality (AR) and digital actuality (VR) environments. It transforms information into interactive 3D visible tales – referred to as “Flows” – which may be seen on a wide range of gadgets, together with VR headsets, desktop browsers, and cell screens in AR.
On the map, coloured circles point out ranges of CO₂ emissions, whereas top represents inhabitants density. Customers can zoom in and click on on particular person markers to view the precise quantity of CO₂ emitted per particular person and per family in every ZIP code space. Nevertheless, there doesn’t seem like an choice to pan the map. The gestures that sometimes permit panning on a web-based map as a substitute rotate the scene round a 3D axis. In consequence, it’s inconceivable to acquire an easy overview of coastal cities – or any location close to the sting of the map – and this makes the info troublesome to learn.
So far as map visualizations go, I’d say that, in the mean time, whereas the immersive 3D map is visually spectacular, Stream will not be notably efficient as a device for information visualization. It prioritizes aesthetic impression over readability, making it exhausting for customers to entry and interpret the underlying information. I haven’t got VR glasses so I could also be being unfair right here – if in VR there are extra intuitive controls and clearer methods to view the precise ZIP code values for coastal cities.
