Summary: Data visualizations have come a long way from their humble beginnings as rudimentary maps and star-tracking diagrams. The growth of scientific temperament and mathematical advancements in Europe led to the development of many graphs we take for granted today. As the belief in empirical studies grew, so did the need to report and study the data. This led to a boom in the use of data visualisations. The movements were driven by a few notable pioneers such as William Playfair and Florence Nightingale. Heading into the middle of the 20th century, technological advancements in computing power and display tools had made it possible to explore newer graphs and create the software to plot them. Dashboards emerged as a favourite of businesses with complex data and multiple aspects of concern to analyse. With the emergence of AI models and 3D viewing technologies, the entire process from data preparation, visualisation, and analysis is expected to be simplified. The accessibility of data will increase for all types of users.
