Are you interested in seeing data in ways you never have before? Whether you're a seasoned data analyst or an enthusiastic new Tableau user, this is your chance to be at the forefront of innovation.

Join us for a hands-on study exploring how we could bring exploratory data analytics to the Apple Vision Pro. In this 30-minute session you will evaluate our prototype app and share your input on the types of data experiences you’d like to see in virtual reality. Note: This activity requires the ability to see clearly without prescription glasses (contacts are fine).
