VR Data Collection for a Global Technology Company
As the market for Virtual Reality (VR) applications continues to grow, developers are increasingly relying on data collection services to ensure their VR experiences work for all users. Through outsourcing vendors, companies can collect data on a large scale to train their AI products to understand consumer behavior1. But with VR technology involving many complex models, they require massive amounts of data to be collected from thousands of diverse participants.
VR datasets must avoid any bias and fully represent the target population. Aggregated data is essential, and businesses must consider the precision of the information they’re gathering. It must be thoroughly evaluated and verified for accuracy. If all these conditions are met, this data can give companies the ability to better understand their operations and customers in real-time2.
