Visualize Streaming Big Data Through Augmented Reality By Ron Brooks, Victor Orellana, Sean Saffan Matt Alyward (HS Intern) Dr. Sara North, Research Project Mentor

Why this project? To develop a prototype to visualize data in a new way In augmented reality on the HoloLens or an Android device To create a tool for analyzing security risks within a network could potentially be used to locate an attacking computer To develop applications for an emerging technology HoloLens and other forms of Augmented/Mixed Reality CS 4850 Senior Project

Purpose To create a prototype augmented reality (AR) application for the visualization of streamed data of networked devices. This visualization will be formed using information such as the IP and MAC addresses of machines connected to the network, their location, and the potential security risks that they pose to the network. CS 4850 Senior Project

Methods Developing a prototype that will include research in Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) technology in tandem with cyber security and big data visualization. Human cognitive limitations in terms of Big Data Visualization. Applying AR/VR opportunities towards Big Data Visualization. Challenges and benefits of the proposed visualization approach. Formed using information such as the IP and MAC addresses that connect to the network for potential security risks that they pose to the network. CS 4850 Senior Project

Outcomes An augmented reality application for the HoloLens and Android that can: Visualize a multilayered interface of streaming data Enhance comprehension of data with a more intuitive interface Support further development in AR visualization of big data CS 4850 Senior Project
