AROARO - Distributed Mixed-Reality Environment

Helping to build a richer, immersive experience in the web

More Effectiveness

Aroaro’s immersive environment helps users to make decisions more effectively compared to using 2D flat-screen visualization tools.

Higher quality

Aroaro’s immersiveness is the key to exploring richer modes of data visualization leading to e higher-quality decisions.

Better Collaboration

Aroaro’s multi-user environment helps collaborators overcome any geographical distance. Not only that, Aroaro’s voice and note recording also help teams handle “time distance”.

Who we are

WHAT WE DO

Research

We investigate XR users’ attitudes towards privacy and personal privacy protection in immersive spaces. We use Immersive Analytics to learn about data-driven decision-making, XR to understand – healthy and unhealthy – purchasing habits at retail shops using a shop digital twin.

development

We develop Aroaro XR clients to support multiple XR applications such as privacy protection protocols, data visualization and virtual retail shopping.

Collaboration

We collaborate with researchers in the areas of population health, architecture, marketing and education supported on a transdisciplinary paradigm.

innovation

We embrace new ideas, testing, debating and implementing them when we deem them fit, because we strive to develop a better, immersive world for data-driven innovation.
