headset, the ability to visualize data in 3D space helps scientists get a better grasp on the raw
information they receive. (Image: Virtualitics Inc.)

JPL has experimented with virtual and mixed-reality environments as ways to improve data
analysis, particularly when it comes to judging the size and distance of geological features
as seen from Mars rovers. These experiments were some of the initial tests that inspired the
founders of Virtualitics to see how this technology could be used outside JPL. (Image: NASA)
currently most often used in banking,
retail, and medical research. It can visualize
anything from a spreadsheet to
a large " data lake " without having to
move the data from where it resides.
Donalek said the company maintains
a relationship with JPL, and many of
54
its 60 employees come from the center
or Caltech.
" One of them is from MIT, but we don't
hold it against him, " Donalek joked.
