New possibilities of engineering analysis in a digital world
All forms of engineering analysis become increasingly improved. People are slowly reaching the limits of their biological capabilities, but they are not slowing down thanks to computerization, which also supports all research initiatives. Instrumentation becomes more accurate and precise resulting in more data to be analyzed and processed. The development of ICT has contributed to the creation of completely new environments and IT tools. Humanity can now look further, see more and know more than ever.
There has been the emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality. With its help, experiencing the impossible becomes real. It is possible to conduct experiments that have not been possible so far. However, there is a specific danger related to this state of affairs. It is not only the constantly growing demand for computing power but, above all, the threat of information chaos. Paradoxically, obtaining more information may cause difficulties in understanding it and even disrupt the whole cognitive process. Therefore, there is a need for simple and easy to use solutions that will enable control, quick aggregation and visualization of data. It should be emphasized that in the chaos of data the information that is not described is completely unnecessary and sometimes even harmful for the researcher.
