VR is turning data visualization from a process or an action to an experience. While performing data visualization in VR, users can use a range of gestures to interact with the visualizations and gain inferences without needing profound knowledge of statistics or proficiency in data analysis. The world of data visualization is reaching a new milestone with augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) being adopted as mediums for data storytelling in the virtual world. Major companies such as Google and Apple are showing great interest in the potential for smartphone-enabled VR data visualization.
