Claim:
1. A method for visualization of big data using three dimensional pie charts, the method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, at least a first set of data, wherein the at least first set of data comprises information detailing one or more subsets of values, wherein each value has an associated time element; determining, by the one or more processors, a three dimensional pie chart based on the at least first set of data, wherein the three dimensional pie chart includes a total height comprising at least a first layer coupled to a second layer, and wherein the first layer comprises a first set of wedges, and the second layer comprises a second set of wedges, and wherein determining a height of the at least first layer and the second layer based on the time element further comprises: displaying, by the one or more processors, the three dimensional pie chart, wherein the three dimensional pie chart comprises at least the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer, wherein the first set of wedges and the second set of wedges are based on another set of data different from the at least first set of data and the time element, and wherein the at least first set of data is a diameter of the at least first layer at a given time, the time element is a given time, and the other set of data different from the at least first set of data and the time element is a set of data elements used for the given time.
