3D Weather Data Visualization in Second Life

October 31, 2006

Weather data visualization screenshotSecond Life Insider reports that this November, a weather visualization project is being rolled out in Second Life. The project “demonstrates Second Life as a powerful visualization tool for real-time data.”

That’s the beauty of virtual environments–they enable users to interact with data in multiple dimensions.

Now wouldn’t it be amazing to do data mining in such a fashion? I’d love to get my hands on the Amazon purchaser database and model out buyer personas.
