Abstract:
Visualising complex data facilitates a more comprehensive stage for conveying knowledge. Data-to-day, we are surrounded by data. Each one of us is also a regular creator of data. For example, even simply surfing the internet, and following links, generates information that is collated by the website owner. Similarly, the introduction of the smart meter has meant that we are now generators of data from using electivity and gas in our home. Organisations are finding increasingly more interesting ways to manipulate datasets such as this. For example, smart meter data is being increasingly used for predicting load balancing within the smart grid and for the development of remote healthcare monitoring services. It is clear that by visualising complex datasets, finding answers to complex questions in an understandable manner becomes possible. Yet, interpreting large datasets using virtual reality is a concept that is still in its infancy. Therefore, in this paper, a visualisation of smarter meter data in a virtual reality setting, is demonstrated. The aim of the work is to i) outline an approach for data visualisation in virtual reality and ii) demonstrate how a virtual assistive environment can be created for remote healthcare monitoring.
