Oracle Synopsis Lens

Few days back I came across this feature called 'Lens' in Oracle Synopsis. What it does is really cool, it can read any data and can create BI Analysis / Charts on that automatically. Let me try to demonstrate one of such cases.

I have created a sample data out of my grocery list.

Probably next time I will try to use the grocery list itself ... 😏.

I open the Oracle Synopsis in my mobile (in case you want information on how to download or use Oracle Synopsis, please refer to my earlier blog on Oracle Synopsis). On the home screen, there is the + sign and once you click that, you get the 4 options for creating a new analysis.

In this case I will go with the Lens.

I click on the Lens and point my camera towards my laptop screen showing the excel data.

And I also 'Enable chart'. Few minutes of holding the mobile like that and I get a complete analysis, just like that.

Few things that I have noticed and would like bring up :

• Performance wise it takes a bit of time to come up with the analysis. 
• Actually it tries to put the data into different form of visualizations while preparing, but most of those visualizations are not used.
• Some amount of manual editing is required once the analysis it done, to make it ready for sharing.

I have tried to capture it using a small demo video also.

Hope it will be useful, I will try to explore and post new features /tools.
