3Data

3Data, founded in 2015 by Wallon Walusayi and Tyler Cummings, operates as a developer of a three-dimensional data visualization and simulation platform. Initially known as DatavizVR, the Austin-based company aims to make complex data more understandable for organizations. A significant milestone was its acceptance into the BoostVC accelerator program in February 2018. The company has secured $1.3 million in funding over two rounds, with a notable seed round in August 2020 led by Mark Cuban Companies and HTC's Vive.

The company's core business revolves around its web-based, device-agnostic platform that provides immersive 3D visualizations for operations and IT. It serves clients across diverse industries such as government, transportation, energy, and telecommunications by transforming their operational data into interactive, real-time virtual command centers. This allows organizations to unify siloed data streams—including network topology, building renderings, and camera feeds—into a collaborative virtual environment accessible from desktop, mobile, or XR devices. The business model appears to be subscription-based, offering a significantly lower-cost and faster-to-implement alternative to traditional, multi-million dollar physical operation centers.

3Data's platform, with its flagship product called Cloudcom, enables teams to visualize, collaborate, and make critical decisions remotely. Key features include the ability to import and manipulate large datasets, an open API for customization, and tools for real-time data modeling. A distinctive component is the 'Apollo AI' voice assistant, which functions similarly to Iron Man's JARVIS, using natural language processing to auto-correlate time-series data, logs, and sensor data to provide actionable insights. This allows users to predict maintenance needs, detect threats, and mitigate risks more efficiently than with traditional 2D monitoring tools. The platform's main benefit is providing full situational awareness in a collaborative setting, which has proven especially valuable for teams forced into remote work.
