Use Tableau or Power BI to visualise the closing price of each of the following four commodities – copper, gold,

for telling your story.
To assist with telling this story, read the following articles and apply the principles described therein.

Your story should include 10 slides, with references.

Question 2 (5 marks)
Read the article below, which explains the importance of visualization techniques evolving to keep up
with changes in industry, such as the fourth industrial revolution.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666389921000921
Having understood the context and connection between Industry 4.0 and visualisation, go to the Visme
chart gallery at https://visme.co/blog/types-of-graphs/ and observe the charts and their applications. This
software is obviously relevant to Industry 4.0.
By observing the chart types, create one slide which describes four common modelling techniques that
are relevant to this visualisation software? (2 marks)
Create a second slide to explain how you would apply these modelling techniques to the data set provided in
Question 1 (3 marks)

Question 3 (5 marks)

Given that virtual reality (an immersive environment) is one of the sophisticated visualisation techniques
used in Industry 4.0, create one slide which describes the application of immersive environments in
business. Do not use an example from the workshop - you must research the articles below to find your
own (2 marks).

• https://www.fdmgroup.com/5-exciting-uses-for-virtual-reality/
• https://virtualspeech.com/blog/vr-applications
• https://foundry4.com/5-business-uses-of-virtual-reality
