SBIR Phase II: Novel Platform for Visualizing Big Data in Virtual Reality

小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第二阶段项目的更广泛影响将是人们查看、理解和使用地理空间数据的方式的根本性进步。这项拟议的研究将在电信、物联网(IoT)和交通运输行业将沉浸式分析技术商业化，所有这些行业都使用过时的2D地图工具。这项技术还可以改善有关环境变化、健康危机和其他不断变化的情况的数据的可视化。这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第二阶段项目将增强现实和虚拟现实与人工智能融合在一起，以解决电信领域的数据可视化痛点。就像他们居住的建筑物一样，无线信号存在于三维空间，很难通过传统的2D图表和图形来表示。这项研究的目标是开发一个身临其境的分析平台，用户可以直接进入他们的地理数据并实时操作它。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will be a fundamental advancement in the way people see, understand, and work with geospatial data. The proposed research will commercialize immersive analytics technology across the telecom, Internet of Things (IoT), and transportation industries, all of which use outdated 2D mapping tools. This technology can also improve visualization of data regarding environmental changes, health crises, and other changing situations. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project fuses augmented reality and virtual reality with artificial intelligence to address data visualization pain points in the telecom sector. Like the buildings they inhabit, wireless signals exist in three dimensions and are difficult to represent through traditional 2D charts and graphs. The objective of this research is to develop a an immersive analytics platform where users literally step inside their geodata and manipulate it in real time.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
