University of Illinois Scientists' Answer To Big Data Is Virtual Reality
Scientists across various fields today face the challenge of processing large amounts of data, wherein traditional applications fail to deliver. Researchers at University of Illinois seem to have found a solution to this conundrum in futuristic technology. The system, known as CAVE2, is an 8-foot-high screen, 320 degrees wide, encapsulating the viewer in the virtual world.

The 3D environment created by the 72 stereoscopic liquid crystal display panels can take the user aboard the Starship enterprise, on a voyage to Mars, or take you for a stroll between the blood vessels in the brain. Picture large amounts of data, for example, the forces behind a hurricane, and CAVE2 will turn it into a simulation that is much easier for a Researcher to explore and observe. All the user needs is 3D glasses and a controller aptly named "wand" to study data in an interactive way, like detecting brain aneurysms and determining proper treatment.
