Visual Analytics for Intelligence Analysis
Visual analytics produce superior information and knowledge products to support situation awareness and decision-making by integrating interactive visual interfaces with advanced computational analytics. People, data and analytics work together in a visual system of systems, harnessing the unique strengths of each. Oculus is an industry leader in this field and was a contributing author to Jim Thomas’ research agenda for visual analytics.
Analyze Events in Time and Space
I can see connections in the where and when. Its a big improvement. – Government Analyst
GeoTime shows events in an X,Y,T coordinate space in which the X,Y plane is spatial and the vertical T axis represents time. Scientific evaluations show this methods doubles analytic productivity. Events animate in time vertically through the 3-D space as the time slider bar is moved. GeoTime lets analysts follow objects, see movement, show transactions and relationships, understand sequence and see cause and effect. Analysts can see patterns of behaviour not previously possible and enables them to interactively gain insight into many thousands of events and transactions.

Web 2.0 Intelligence Analysis
nSpace2 in a web browser lets me integrate all of my analysis into a flexible thinking workspace. – Government Analyst
nSpace2 is a web-based visual analytics platform that enables analysts to interactively discover and synthesize insights from vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. nSpace includes semantic extraction and categorization, hypothesis exploration and evidence gathering, reasoning, collaboration and reporting. It is a collaborative environment to build and share knowledge. Powerful software agents combined with interactive visual techniques are used to synthesize and share actionable knowledge with others. For more information, see the nSpace product page.

Optimize Resources
A pharmaceutical project has a finite time horizon to generate future value but is constrained by regulatory process, the availability of specialized professionals and technical risks. In this engagement with a pharmaceutical company a unique set of Oculus project management visualization tools revealed previously hidden resource contention issues in the next 5 years.
