Big Data Visualization and Virtual Reality

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on “Big Data Visualization and Virtual Reality” that solicits works at the intersection of big data, virtual reality, visualization, and immersive experience design. As the data quantity and complexity continue to increase due to advances in data acquisition and modelling, there is an increasing demand on new platforms and tools that can enhance the effectiveness of data analytics and interactive capabilities. The convergence of virtual reality and wearable tracking technologies has helped promote hands-free and heads-up work, allowing people to see and interact with the massive amount of data from the first-person perspective. Data exploration with such emerging technologies has the potential to address the difficulties caused by the growing size and complexity of the data, with the methods combining real-time visualization techniques, interactive innovations, and in situ simulations.

We welcome researchers, data scientists, designers, and industrial professionals to submit their original research and review articles that address open questions, provide insightful experiments, evaluations, and case studies, present an advance in performance and interaction modality design, or provide insights and guidelines towards future design and challenges.

Dr. Chao Peng
Guest Editor
