Strata: your command center’s video, maps and data in one immersive workstation
Strata is a configurable XR workstation. Operators work with streaming video, surveillance cameras, web dashboards, desktop windows, ArcGIS maps and 3D models from one headset or display, as a virtual copy of an existing command center or as a new workspace built around the mission.
Supported hardware: Varjo XR-4 and XR-3, Samsung Galaxy XR, HTC Vive XR Elite, Brelyon Ultra Reality and Meta Quest 3 and Quest Pro. Standalone (Android) or tethered (Windows).
IN USE
CASTLE knowledge wall, Virginia Tech Applied Research Corporation (Chantilly, VA). Strata streams all fifteen 4K panels of the CASTLE knowledge wall to headsets anywhere in the facility, in real time, with ArcGIS context.
Security operations at a large financial technology firm. Strata links the company’s headquarters SOC and a satellite office so the two sites operate interchangeably.
Accredited secure environments. Strata has been fielded in accredited secure environments. Suitability for a specific site is subject to that site’s RMF review.
First place, NIST PSCR CommanDING Tech Challenge. Phase 4 winner, with Best VR Application, Best UI/UX for VR and Best Data Handling in VR.

WHAT STRATA BRINGS TOGETHER
Live video: RTSP, SRT, WebRTC, HLS, RTMP and MPEG-DASH streams, up to 4K30 on Windows. About 90 ms nominal latency over LAN.
Cameras: ONVIF and VISCA PTZ control, plus 360-degree and fisheye surveillance cameras (Axis, Bosch, Cisco Meraki and others).
Maps and 3D: Esri ArcGIS image, vector and elevation layers, OGC 3D Tiles, integrated mesh and 3D object scenes. OBJ, FBX, glTF and BIM (.rvt) models.
Web and desktop: a built-in Chromium browser for dashboards, plus mirrored desktop windows.
Two ways to deploy. Extend an existing command center: mirror your video wall so authorized staff can work from any room. Or build a new workspace: combine lidar scans, GIS maps, live sensors and video in a layout designed for the task.
