Using Motion Design for Data Visualization

Hi everyone,

I would like to develop a blueprint to show animated 3d dataviz, and I would like to ask if it’s possible to:

Read data in real time (e.g. take data from a JSON from an URL. This is to avoid making a new package with updated data every month)

Input this data to a Motion Design Actor (e.g. use scale transform on the objects of a Cloner to represent the different values)

It would be cool to go beyond viewing this on a screen and view this in VR with a Windows application or even in Mixed Reality with an Oculus Quest application.

Do you think it’s feasible? Are there any technical limitations right now? (e.g. I don’t know if Motion Design is compatible with VR or Android applications)

In case of technical limits, what kind of workaround should I look for? (e.g. can I bake the Motion Design animation instead of processing it in real time)

Thanks
