Mobile Augmented Reality can solve Visualization?

Data visualization on mobile devices looks promising, because when the iPhone first: portable computers are very capable! Innovative touch interactions! Very local content! Hundreds of visualizations for mobile devices that exist, both as an application and part of the daily news content. But there is one big problem that visualizes the phone cannot shake yet:

Difference between having your graphic on sticky notes or in two posters side-by-side.

I think that the Augmented Reality (AR) can solve this problem.

Snapchat lenses

AR has been primarily a research direction for the last thirty years, but is now slowly entering the mainstream technology. AR coating reality with virtual information, which seems to be part of the environment (depending on your company affiliation, the principle can also be called Mixed Reality). Think: Snapchat Lens with face tracking, HoloLens Microsoft letting you play Minecraft on a sofa table or the latest ARKit Apple.

When AR was originally proposed, the headset is usually great with low resolution and low refresh rate. Hickups between head motion and the content on the screen makes it difficult to maintain the illusion of virtual real elements in your physical world, perhaps even leading to cyber disease.

smartphone production and improvements in technology leading to lower prices for better components have both revolutionized Virtual Reality (see Oculus) and Augmented Reality – because they both build similar technology (high-resolution small portable displays, head tracking, etc.).

So while our AR is now largely based on the metaphor of the peephole (you’re looking through your phone to see the filter face or Pokémon), AR future – we are interested in this article – should work with the headset only – hopefully very non- intrusive glass – leaving your hands free to interact with (augmented) reality.

So how can this era AR solve the lack of space for mobile visualization screens?

By adding your reality, AR put screens everywhere and at the same time. The screen becomes completely virtual – with all the advantages. The lack of screen space no longer exists, because these virtual screens can potentially fill the entire field-of-view (and so on) you.

Plus, like other mobile devices, AR device knows where you are in the world (thanks to geolocation) but even more: where and what you’re looking at! Combining with automatic object recognition and you have all kinds of interesting applications for datavis open.

To be more specific, I can see three promising direction for the future of Augmented Reality visualization:

Located personal visualization

One of the promises of the phone is always creates a visualization of the data of personal experience. Various applications use your location for example, center the map at your current position (Google Maps), suggesting restaurants around you (Yelp) or track your running route (Runkeeper).

AR visualization has the potential to be more personal: knowing about the preferences and objectives, can display the data right at the right time. But what is more interesting is that everything can be located in the right place:

AR Visualization becomes part of your environment, add real-world objects (and people) with the relevant information, placed in just the right positions. Visualization is no longer displayed in the picture a little glowing box, but adding texture to the world.

Imagine trying to make his way in Boston in a snowstorm. application you know exactly where you want to go and be able to draw on the relevant information from the internet. It is well known that you’re looking at a bus right now and help you in making a decision: should I take the bus or take Uber? Do I have to hurry? Where should I transfer? How long will it take? And the snow will end?

All this information is right where you need it and totally private – no one else can see what you see. It is the ultimate expression of personal visualization.

Similarly, AR vis can display data that is relevant to you but perhaps not for everyone.
