However, most of these tools are confined to the limit of breaking the data complexities.
But in 2017 and beyond, data experts predict that there will be substantial change and advancement in these developing tools as a part of future trends in data visualization. These will be fashioned such, so as to extract data from unknown and complicated data sources and extract useful and intriguing patterns of visualizations.
3. User Interface/User Experience (UI/UX) becomes as equally important as the data itself
The actual purpose of data visualization is to make it easier for the key stakeholders and decision makers to understand the complex datasets. So the representation of the same, or the user experience of the visualization remains a prime factor to be considered. So in recent times, the data visualization application UI/UX of each kind of data visualization will be created in such a way, that it will be scalable and simple to navigate. Neither too difficult nor too basic will be the form.
Also, the applications will be able to meet the demands of the audience, besides being adjustable to different interfaces.
