2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

8. Project Plan
Phase 0 - (Optional) - Simplified Prototype
A simplified prototype of the final product to test for areas that will need more attention in later development
Phase 1 - Develop a program to analyze a network and obtain data
A program that scans a network and collects data
Phase 2 - Develop a visualization in Unity
A program that takes the collected data and creates a visualization of it in Unity
Phase 3 - Deploy to the HoloLens and Android
Have working versions of the application on the HoloLens and an Android device
