Grid Raster

Grid Raster is a company that has developed a cloud-based platform for extended reality (XR), which includes augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). The platform is designed to enable high-performance and scalable XR experiences on mobile devices by offloading the heavy computational tasks to the cloud. This approach allows for more complex and realistic virtual environments without requiring powerful and expensive end-user hardware.

Their key product, ATLAS (Automatic Tracking, Localization, and Augmentation System), is a spatial mapping and artificial intelligence (AI) platform. It is built to support industrial and enterprise applications, particularly in the manufacturing sector. The company's technology facilitates virtual design and collaboration, and they support devices such as the Microsoft HoloLens 2. By leveraging cloud infrastructure, Grid Raster provides the necessary computing power for real-time processing and enhanced functionality in XR applications.

Grid Raster operates on a business-to-business (B2B) model, targeting enterprises that can benefit from the integration of XR technologies into their workflows. The company is also an AFWERX Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) company, indicating a relationship with the United States Air Force and a focus on defense-related applications. Their revenue is likely generated through licensing of their platform and providing services to their enterprise clients.
