Power BI Integration w/ Unity 3D

Djohn_pro — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 03:00:47 GMT

Is it possible to bring Power BI tiles into Unity 3D? If so, what would be the general concept of how this would be accomplished?

If not the full visual tiles, then how about the underlying data?

Let me know if you need any further clarification, and thank you for the assistance .

I have no expertise on Unity 3D. Here some points on Power BI.

At this moment, embedding a tile is actually adding a <iframe> tag in a HTML page. If Unity 3D can integrate some HTML stuff, it might be possible.

For retrieving underlying data, there's no such API as of now. You can check this idea Export data and report views through an API and vote it up.

Hi, I am working on a similar kind of project. Has anyone been able to do this? I have come across another route using DirectX and WebGL to render a custom PowerBI visual but I am not sure whether that would work the HoloLens, which is what I am aiming for ? hence, why I'd like to use Unity for this. Any ideas?

Thank you

I am also looking at how to integrate PowerBI with Unity. Has anyone successfully done this?

Please look for a documentation on how to integrate an iframe into Unity. Please note it will use inner browser for rendering. No direct calls to DirectX or OpenGL because most of components are based on SVG but there're some visuals that use WebGL.
