DESCRIPTION

Virtual Reality (VR) technology introduces new and exciting opportunities for interactively visualizing and analyzing large-scale networks. This hands-on workshop introduces the emerging field of immersive data analytics and enables participants to use the power of VR in their own projects. 

 

The workshop starts with an introduction to VR hardware, basic hard- and software requirements, and how to set up a VR station. We will then present an overview of existing VR applications for data analysis that participants will also be able to try out themselves. Finally, a hands-on session will introduce the workflow for visualizing and exploring large-scale networks. Participants are encouraged to bring their own datasets that can then be implemented into the VR platform guided by a team of tutors. No prior experience with VR is required.
