It is easy to see how virtual reality can be a natural partner for big data challenges. Oftentimes, the most difficult aspect concerning big data is not the visualization process itself per se, but rather how well Data scientists and other researchers are able to gain insights from the data at hand.

A VR headset ( Oculus Rift or Samsung) contains computing knowledge, algorithms, and data to provide the best viewing experience. This mammoth collection of data is processed by Data Science which leads to understanding human behaviour. However, Data Science makes more sense once VR economy becomes accessible in terms of pricing, and consumers use it often like other apps.

The confluence of big data, gaming technologies, and virtual reality promises to create new methods to analyze and interact with big data.
