Virtualitics grabs another $7M in funding to drive its VR data visualization platform
Summary
“[B]usiness intelligence platforms need to be 3D and collaborative by design in order to help companies gain a deeper level of understanding in the stories being told by the raw data,” Virtualitics CTO Ciro Donalek wrote in a press release.Where the tech also makes a lot of sense is what Virtualitics is doing with their Shared Virtual Office feature, which turns VR systems into teleconferencing rooms where employees can discuss insights from data while having it life-sized in front of them.Companies also don’t need a dozen VR headsets to get going with the software, as the startup is pushing experiences on desktop and mobile, as well.As more services grow friendly to 3D visualizations of data and models, it’s a little unclear whether the jump from 2D to 3D is really giving users a ton of extra insights.The startup’s success is going to rely a lot more on the insights it’s capable of delivering rather than the simple fact that you can check out three-dimensional charts of existing data in virtual reality.
