ABSTRACT
Collaborative interactions and transactions among traders, portfolio managers and risk managers can be transformed with synthetic worlds. It is easy to anticipate that by 2025, the reports, analyses and projections from financial industry participants exist in a shared workspace for dissemination and collaboration that is flexible, adaptable and with high visualization capabilities. This chapter describes a scenario with a futuristic portfolio analysis and planning process that is distributed in a global organization. It is made possible by powerful computer graphics hardware, advanced computational industry risk models and perceptually correct, cognitively enhancing, visual analytic user interfaces.
