Data Soruces/Format
Data Soruces/Format
datasets for use in datavizVR should be placed in the same file path as the .exe folder located at "~/datavizvr_preview/datasets" on the PC.
The format of dataset- The file should have commas between every data point in a particular row. It should not contain any commas surrounded by quotes. All data points in a single column should be of same type- String, Integer, etc. The roes with null data is removed from plotting.
Data File format-
data should be saved in '.csv' file format.

Multiple User
Multiple user collaboration is not available in VR for beta version. however, the 3data license now provides collaboration and allow multiple users to access and manipulate the vizualization together.
Single User
Allow you to edit and analyze data in your workspace independently.

Metrics
Metrics
Accessibility: The estimated time for someone to load and start visualizing data in VR
Beginner: No coding or graphics experience | < 1 hour
Intermediate: Some coding or graphics experience | < 45 minutes
Advanced: Both coding and graphics experience | < 30mins
Expert: A lot of experience with VR visualization | < 30mins
Takeaway:
This software provides with features to view various data and visualize upto 6 variables at a time. The experience of selecting variables, assigning axis, etc. is very intuative and makes visualization of big data really easy. However, it can be improved for allowing multiple variable to be visualized at a time and also had options of different plot types than scatter.
Power: The engine's power- i.e. how much once can do with this
Medium- Although, it provides basic features- there are many other features that could be added like multiple variables, different plots, etc. to make visualization easier and better.
Usage: Evaluation of software's use for the following purposes
Big data Visualization
Relationship between various variables
graphics(allowing color change in graph and background change)
