PlayStation: Data at the Speed of Gaming
Video game development is a fast-paced and competitive industry. Having real-time access to the right data lets you turn on a dime and capture market trends you might otherwise miss. This session discusses how PlayStation uses data visualization tools to analyze gameplay metrics, reduce development costs, and increase the speed of decision-making, allowing the team to rapidly answer questions they could never even ask before. You’ll see some of PlayStation’s data visualizations and learn best practices for using data visualization to have a tremendous impact on an organization of any size and from any industry.
This SXSW Gaming Session at the Long Center is FREE and open to the public. However SXSW Interactive, Film, Gold and Platinum badges gain priority seating.
