Big data analytics has largely been represented by 2D visualizations. However, the rise of densely populated, highly built-up smart cities around the globe has stretched the capabilities of current 2D visualization techniques. How does one track fleets of drones flying around cities? How can one visualize all the different IoT devices on each floor of each skyscraper in the city? How does one portray indoor geolocation data across many buildings in an efficient manner? These challenges served as the basis for SmartHub’s natural progression to next-gen 3D visualizations. SmartHub, the analytics division in StarHub, builds and delivers telco analytics products to customers across industry verticals that range from the Singapore government to retail mall owners. Victor Chua explores how SmartHub is gearing up for a 3D future to support cutting-edge data analytics and visualizations for smart cities and beyond. Topics include:
