ORA BIRTHS THE PROTOSTAR

The Protostar System is a generative world-building tool that gives you the power to navigate data in 4 dimensions.

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!

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.

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, his 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 networking. This became the foundation for ORA. His 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.

 

OUR ADVISORS

 

Louis Selincourt

ADVISORY / COO

Louis is a former COO of the office of the CTO at Zynga.  With over 30 years in the tech sector, leading teams at companies like Oracle and NetApp, Louis innately understands the importance of execution in technology platforms. At ORA, he acts as a key member of the Executive Team, with an emphasis on recruiting technical, analytics, and developer teams (platform and services) and ensuring that ORA successfully scales out of launch.

 
 
 

Kostadis Roussos

ADVISORY / ENGINEERING & RECRUITING

Formerly a Distinguished Engineer at Juniper Networks and Chief Engineer at Zynga, Kostadis is focused on cloud infrastructure and cloud systems will transform security infrastructure and networking. He is currently Principal Engineer at VMware. As ORA’s lead Engineering advisor, Kostadis is guiding our product building process and aiding in the recruitment of our code-writing team.

 

 

Ken Melkus

ADVISORY / Healthcare sector 

Ken is a senior-level medical sector investor and advisor.  He serves as the Senior Industry Executive and Consultant at Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe and was the founder and chairman of the Nashville Healthcare Council. Ken is a critical champion for ORA's vision of a new form of visualization for complex medical big data. 

 
 
 

As data becomes more complex we will need new tools to make sense of it.
