More about the project
Large amounts of data are generated by and collected (usually by the different service providers) from everyday activities of users, as well as from their use of their smart devices, wearables and, of course, mobile phones. The difficulty lies, as usually noted in Big Data domain discussions, in interpreting such data into useful information.
Numerous applications already exist which can visualize the data, but further research is necessary to offer easily-understandable information visualization, especially for cross-referencing different types of data.
Although used by the applications and services for a variety of purposes, these personal Big Data remain mostly unavailable to the users, with limited ways for them to interact and explore.
