Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation (INTUITIVE), a professional engineering and technology services company, has joined the Virtual Reality Augmented Reality Association (VRARA) through the Central Florida Chapter.
Over the last decade, INTUITIVE has explored and invested in emerging, interdisciplinary visual solutions for advanced control and communication. They are focused on revolutionizing visualization methods, and how data is perceived, analyzed, and experienced. The company’s analytics and visualization software packages allow users, physicians, analysts, engineers, patients, and stakeholders to be immersed in their data.
INTUITIVE’s team of digital and technical artists, game developers, and digital and software engineers utilize a myriad of visualization applications—including VR and AR domains—to provide immersive solutions to its Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial customers. Some of the VR/AR applications they have created include virtual experiences for viewing and interacting with medical imagery, holding multi-analyst design reviews, and even to scale replications of aircraft. INTUITIVE’s team has experience with many of the leading-edge Extended Reality (XR) technologies on the market today.
Tim Hill, INTUITIVE’s Director of Central Florida Operations, said, “With VR & AR technologies, the sky is the limit. To keep up with the ever evolving and changing world, and the growing amounts and types of digital data, we must advance how we survey, analyze, view, and experience complex data. We are excited to join VRARA, and to collaborate with a community of creators who share our same passion and vision.” In addition to joining VRARA, Hill now serves on the VRARA Board of Advisors for the Central Florida Chapter.
INTUITIVE’s Internal Research & Development (IR&D) investments in the area of XR has resulted in a deep portfolio of widgets, toolkits, and an extensible framework that can be used to rapidly prototype and deliver VR and AR solutions. The company holds several patents on the technology and applications that they have developed in this area since 2014, many with applicability for medicine and radiology. INTUITIVE’s tools are data agnostic—they can easily re-purpose the methods and interfaces they have developed for the medical domain for any data-intensive engineering and aerospace discipline, such as non-destructive test and evaluation, automatic target recognition, and image processing. INTUITIVE’s Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Dr. William Marx, said, “We’ve been pioneers in developing and delivering visualization solutions for many years. Our current and future IR&D investments in this area allow us to explore linear and non-linear training solutions; multi-platform and multi-player distributed collaboration; and development of natural user interface solutions that provide intuitive, innovative methods to perform data analytics within the virtual environment.”
