Cognitive3D has raised $2.5 million to develop spatial analytics for immersive 3D environments such as virtual reality and the metaverse.

Cognitive3D uses immersive technology to help provide a new way of researching consumer behavior within a 3D extended reality (XR) setting. As users move from content consumption through 2D web and mobile platforms, towards a more interactive content participation in 3D apps, Cognitive3D provides the ability to understand what happens within a 3D space, including how users interact with objects in the chosen environment. That means devs will know where you are looking inside a VR environment.
