the next dimension of big data
SCALAR NESTS and BUTTERFLY EFFECTS
Unleashing force multipliers in human networks with generative design.
We are building out-of-the-box visualization systems (SaaS) that allow us to explore complex personal and enterprise data in an intuitive and actionable way.
DEsigners: Want to play with the generative halo?
try the HALO module!
Our first patent
is a visualization platform that can combine up to ten different data-sets into a fluid multi-dimensional band of light
IMPLEMENTATIONS
Heart Halo
Working with physicians and scientists at Mayo Clinic, ORA has developed the first responsive wearables-driven health identity, called the Heart HALO.
Currently in BETA.
Data monitoring
Adobe HQ’s Global Operations Center powered by ORA HALO.
HALO'S 6 DIMENSIONS
Speed
Size
Color
Complexity
Brightness
Wobble
Optimal Conditions
The HALO is applicable in a variety of scenarios, but provides a critical solution when:
Visualizing multiple parameters simultaneously
There is a high-stress situation with critical outcomes, and where the entity’s status can change rapidly
There is a tight interdependency of multiple dynamic data-streams, where the interdependency itself is something the viewer needs to understand
Key Benefits
Maps correlations and reveals emergent properties amongst factors
Increases speed and level of comprehension of interdependent data
Allows for comparison and differentiation between many discrete groupings (multiple Halos)
After a brief period of familiarization, you will be able to understand and compare vast data sets at the glance of an eye.
ORA is currently developing HALOs that represent patient health status, backend data security, and stock fluctuations. But the list of potential use cases are endless - anywhere users need to monitor and interpret massive quantities of complex data in realtime.

OUR TEAM
Stephen Marshall
FOUNDER - CEO/PRODUCT LEAD
A polymath and serial entrepreneur, Stephen’s two early-web journalism platforms Channel Zero & GNN, were at the forefront of digital and user-generated content. He entered the hi-tech realm with a vision for a new paradigm in dimensional data visualization that would power next-gen systems in medicine, markets, and social identity. This became the foundation for ORA. Stephen’s full CV is here.
Peter Crnokrak, Ph.D.
DATA VIZ/ARCHITECTURE LEAD
Emerging from a doctorate in quantitative genetics, Peter’s work takes complex systems and renders them into symbolic and intuitive graphical representations. He has been recognized by National Science Foundation, AIGA 365, ISTD and The European Design Awards and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts. As architecture lead, Peter designed the initial (patented) component ORA and PROTOSTAR systems, which form the initial product suite for the company.
GMUNK
DESIGN LEAD
Bradley Munkowitz (GMUNK) is one of the leading motion graphics designers of his generation. His ground-breaking UI work in TRON: Legacy and Oblivion evolved through his residencies at several influential design studios, beginning with Imaginary Forces, and including Bot & Dolly, and Obscura Digital. He is one of the most established names in the NFT market with his most recent sales at Sotheby’s.
Marcin Ignac
GENERATIVE LEAD
Marcin Ignac is a leader in the field of generative programming and founder of Variable. He and his team write code that allows data to fuel object-based computations. A lecturer, commercial designer, and exhibiting artist in the field of code art, Marcin’s work with Nike and his stunning data art installations made him a perfect candidate to code design ORA’s first stand-alone product, the algorithmically generated HALO.
