Bring data to life with Immersive Visualization

Bring data to life with Immersive Visualization

Data has long stopped being structured and flat, but the results of our analysis are still rendered as flat bar charts and scatter plots. We live in a 3D world, and we need to be able to enable data interaction from all perspectives. Robert Thomas offers an overview of Immersive Visualizationintegrated with notebooks and powered by Sparkwhich helps bring insights to life.
