MSc Dissertation: Exploring the visualisation of hierarchical cybersecurity data within the Metaverse
metaverse MSc · 8 comments · 400 words · read ~991 times.
Well gang, I did it! After two years I've finally finished my MSc!
My final project was a 10,901 word epic about... The ✨Metaverse✨.
Have I gone a little bit peculiar? No. I don't think so. I was advised to pick a project which would sustain my interest for 6 months. So I chose something which would have lots of modern papers to read. And, more importantly, justify me buying a new toy to play with0!
I was delighted and overwhelmed that it received a score of 80% - taking my overall grade to a Distinction. Nice 😎
What was it about
Have you ever had a spreadsheet that was too large to fit on your monitor? Have you ever needed to explore a database full of complex relational material, but felt restricted by your screen's size?
That's a problem that we regularly face at work. So what's it like to view and manipulate data in the Metaverse?
Do people enjoy the experience? Do they find it useful? Does it cause them physical distress? What are their attitudes to the Metaverse in general? Is this the future?
The answers were: yes, maybe, not really, mixed to poor, possibly.

Publication?
I've no idea how I properly publish something like this. I guess I need a DOI and to submit it somewhere? If you have any experience in this area, please let me know.

I bought a Quest 2, using my own money, from a friend who was bored of it. No taxpayer money was spent. ↩︎
