Title of project:
Wellcome Trust Big Data VR Challenge
Proposal summary:
ALSPAC data related to body size and blood pressure will be used to produce a new dataset with similar characteristics, but which is entirely simulated and contains none of the original ALSPAC data.
The simulated dataset will be shared with collaborators from two Virtual Reality (VR) Games Companies, who are taking part in a data visualisation competition organised by the Wellcome Trust. ALSPAC was invited to take part in the competition, by Wellcome Trust, because it is an excellent example of 'big health data'.
No ALSPAC data will be shared with the Games Companies.
