At Cognitive3D, we build and operate a platform that records, measures, aggregates, and analyzes data from VR, AR, and MR experiences. Our technology helps brands develop better products, understand spaces in new ways, and carry out training with more clear results. But that’s not all: we’re also creating a language for this type of insight, giving our customers new ways to understand and quantify human performance.
