has been funded to look at different aspects of how people use immersive 3D visualisation. The Birmingham-based company received CDE funding to develop systems that allow you to 鈥榝ly鈥� through the data 鈥� taking up a variety of viewpoints and maximising the brain鈥檚 ability to spot patterns and anomalies.

Daden鈥檚 Managing Director, David Burden, said they worked with Aston University on the project:

The CDE funding enabled us to work with a leading University human factors team to understand and quantify what had been to us a gut feel of the differences between 2D and 3D visualisation, and so helped us design a better product.

Daden has also received CDE funding for a second project. As well as a conventional PC interface, the company uses a music mixing desk to allow operators to 鈥榤ix鈥� and 鈥榝ade鈥� different data sets, while further work has interfaced the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset to the system. The company is now working on a Mark 2 application, which can plot and interact with more than 7 million data points.
