This document summarizes the potential for government use of data virtual reality (VR) to make open, public data more accessible, useful, and impactful. It discusses establishing open data policies and principles, aligning data to open standards, and tapping into citizen knowledge through open data and connectivity. The document argues that pattern recognition through data VR could improve public policy, service delivery, government accountability, and citizen engagement by making complex data visually accessible. However, it notes challenges around resources, legacy systems, data ownership, and measurable outcomes. Opportunities include evidence-based policy, operational efficiency, cross-sector collaboration, and improved data quality and services.
