About VR OAT

VR OAT, the award-winning project, is the first service offering of the VR Insight™ business line that utilizes VR technology for business. It gathers biological data (eye tracking, electroencephalogram, electrocardiograph, etc.) in real time from people while they watch videos in a VR environment, in order to evaluate their reactions. This data is further supplemented with before/after surveys.  We believe that a carefully designed process that collects biological data yields more accurate, detailed and scientific results that are not influenced by biases that accompany observations and response behavior. 

VR ON AIR TEST Data Flowchart

By utilizing OutSystems, we were able to complete a development project that would typically take 1-1.5 years from start to finish in only 3 months. BlueMeme completed development on OutSystems in two months, and the VR InsightTM platform and tablet application were developed in three months.

• Development of a dashboard that aggregates and graphs biological reaction data such as eye tracking, electroencephalogram, and electrocardiograph data from each manufacturer’s device and displays the evaluation
• Development of a tablet-based survey system to collect data before and after viewing commercials
• Development of a video management system for video commercial management, client management, and user management, etc.

​In this project, our introduction of lean startup and agile development methodologies centered on ALTITUDE INC., and the repeated use of quick “make and show” cycles to develop and review the service definition and requirements, allowed rapid development and high productivity from OutSystems, which was evaluated highly and led to this award.
