Scanalytics Partners with Salt Flats to Study Spatial Science

Chicago, Ill. -- Scanalytics together with Salt Flats in Chicago, announced the launch of Atmos, a consortium with a specific focus on spatial science. Led by Chris Trinetti, CEO, the organization's purpose is to understand, advance and apply research and development on the built environment and its businesses, customers, and occupants. From neuroscientists, data engineers and sensor experts, to interior designers, architects and building materials providers, Atmos creates a curated ecosystem to make connections and spread the knowledge and practice of building smart physical environments for any industry.

Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, the Internet of Things (IoT) and other technologies have provided unprecedented opportunities to collect data and understand how to improve user experience. While many virtual-based organizations benefit from data analytics easily gathered from websites and applications, those in the physical space–architects, designers, builders and material providers–typically rely on intuition and experience.
