Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Visualisation is an effective way of gaining insights into different types of data. In many cases, users still have to derive insights by interpreting the data visual clues presented by a visualisation system.
The interest in mutual distributed technology, such as Blockchain network, has been rapidly increasing. According to a European Parliament’s report, the technology has an immense potential and could change the lives of many. Such network generates a large amount of data with unique characteristics. This is an example of Big Data and normally a straightforward visualisation is not very effective.
With sequences of transactions and associations, graph visualisation is suitable for this type of data. However, due to the large size of the full transaction graphs, any visualisation effort has to compromise between which subset of data to visualise and how to suppress unnecessary details. Therefore, in this project we propose a new visualisation system to address those drawbacks.
At present, virtual reality has been widely used. Head mounted displays (HMDs) produce the feeling of actually being immersed in the virtual world. It allows users to effectively explore complicated blockchain network graphs, etc., without having to project them into 2D display.
In summary, the aim of the project is to develop a novel machine learning assisted immersive visualisation system for mutually distributed ledger network.
