Virtual Reality Dashboard
Design Method
This project develops a VR-based dashboard that integrates real-time
IoT data visualization with AI-driven predictive analysis for efficient
system performance monitoring and maintenance. It enhances
traditional 2D monitoring by introducing an immersive 3D virtual
environment, enabling engineers to interact with live system data,
detect faults faster, and perform more accurate performance
evaluations.
The Challenge We Address
Background
Most existing monitoring systems rely on 2D dashboards that only display data in charts or
flat layouts. This approach limits visualization and does not reflect the actual physical
environment.
As a result, engineers face difficulty analyzing real-time conditions and identifying faults,
especially in complex facilities such as smart buildings and factories.
Problem Statement
The lack of spatial and interactive visualization makes
it difficult to correlate live sensor data with actual system
locations.
Required Capabilities
• View and analyze live IoT data in 3D
• Detect anomalies intuitively
• Simulate system behavior
