It can be observed that current city dashboard platforms are heavily reliant on traditional graph and map-based visualisation tools. While graphical communications have a long-established record of effective data communication, recent technological advances present scientists with new platforms to facilitate the exploration of city data by smart-citizens. This project proposes to investigate how scientists can build extensive and effective city dashboards by exploring emergent virtual environments (VEs) and virtual reality (VR) modalities for data visualisation.
