Abstract: Temporal Concept Analysis (TCA) has been developed with the aim to investigate conceptual structures in data with a temporal layer. Nevertheless, there are not so many tools enabling the visualization of TCA features. We propose a new approach based on virtual reality with a 3D representation of concept lattices in which life tracks of objects can be displayed and explored. This is done by exporting the well-known Toscana tool for visualizing conceptual landscapes in a virtual reality (VR) environment and then display various TCA features on the selected scales.
