Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for information display. In one embodiment, a method for information display includes: acquiring original information associated with an infrastructure for information processing in the real world; visualizing at least a portion of the original information to generate visualized information, wherein the visualized information includes at least one of visualized environmental information associated with an environment in which the infrastructure is located, visualized hardware information associated with hardware in the infrastructure, visualized data processing information associated with data processing performed by the infrastructure, and a visualized analysis result obtained by analyzing the original information; and presenting the visualized information in a virtual world displayed by at least one virtual reality device, wherein the virtual world simulates the real world and includes a virtual representation of the infrastructure. Therefore, infrastructure management can be improved.
