Augmented Reality (AR) for data visualization is technically expensive for a data scientists, but if data visualizations in AR is to be viable this problem must be solved.
Interacting with Augmented Reality requires that a data scientist learns yet another programing language (often Swift or Kotlin), paradigms of mobile development, and after each iteration the entire mobile application needs to be compiled and deployed to a smartphone. PyStar (Python SmootTh Augmented Reality) is a Python module proposed in this poster that allows data scientists to focus on their Python code, analysis and dataset visualizations in AR.
Finally, I also argue that once the barriers to entry on AR for data scientist are lowered, the practitioner can find much value in adding AR to her data visualization toolkit.
