Considerations for Developing an Environment for Data Engineering in Virtual Reality
summary
NASA Langley builds EnDEVR, a VR data-science lab where users assemble data pipelines with hand gestures, kick computations to a backend server, and inspect results in Oculus Rift S and Quest headsets. The multi-tier prototype uses Unreal Engine and a communications stack of protobuf, gRPC and WebSockets, hosts an algorithm marketplace that avoids vendor lock‑in, and embeds an intelligent assistant (category‑theory + logical rules) to recommend representations. Initial ethical review finds risks around unvetted algorithms, documentation requirements, and physiological or sharing harms.
