Data analysis and visualization startup Virtualitics LLC just announced the launch of a new tool that will allow researchers to better understand data using virtual reality and augmented reality.
The new tool, unveiled Thursday, combines the use of VR and AR with machine learning and Big Data analysis to allow data scientists to immerse themselves in the data to better discover hidden insights hidden in complex data sets.
The company also announced that it just closed a $3 million seed funding round from angel investors.
“Big Data is worthless if we cannot extract actionable knowledge from it,” said Michael Amori, chief executive officer of Virtualitics. “Visualization can reveal the knowledge hidden in data, but traditional 2D and 3D data visualizations are inadequate for large and complex data sets.”
To solve this problem, Virtualitics takes advantage of the immersive capability of VR to place a researcher directly into the data. The software also provides a collaborative environment that is suitable for trained data scientists and non-experts alike to work together.
