Abstract

Building database queries often requires technical knowledge of a query language. However, company employees (outside of software development, generally) may not have the expertise to accurately construct and execute database queries. Moreover, in the era of Big Data, we believe that it is important to count on more flexible interfaces that may allow users interact with data in a more natural and immersive way. Our contribution is to utilize virtual reality (VR) to construct database queries and execute them on relational databases. Using natural hand or controller gestures, this approach seeks to provide easy access to build and visualize database queries. This is a first approach towards more flexible interfaces to interact with data.
