About Cognitive3D

The platform that measures everything in XR

Since 2015, Cognitive3D has helped XR teams record what happens inside immersive experiences, replay it in 3D, and compare it across sessions.

When we started

Immersive tech was evolving, but XR analytics didn’t exist yet.

Organizations were building blind inside immersive worlds.

Teams had no visibility into struggle, success, or learning.

XR desperately needed a new measurement model.

For over a decade

We’ve shaped how the industry thinks about spatial analytics.

From individual session replay to aggregate trend analysis, Cognitive3D gives XR teams the evidence they need to validate outcomes, improve experiences, and prove what works.

Track XR Experiences

Capture scenes, sessions, objects, goals, and app performance across every XR deployment.

Learn More

Explore Individual Behaviour

Replay sessions in full 3D to see where users moved, what they focused on, and how they performed.

Analyze Aggregate Insights

Compare behaviour across sessions, monitor trends over time, and build dashboards grounded in real data.

Who we are

Building what XR needs next

Cognitive3D brings together XR engineers, data scientists, and curious problem-solvers who want to better understand how people experience immersive technology. We turn spatial behaviour into something teams can see, explore, and learn from.

Our engineers build spatial data tools across the leading XR engines and headsets. Our data science team contributes peer-reviewed research, bringing rigour to the questions behind the product and keeping our work grounded in what the data can actually tell us.

We’re proudly Canadian, with hubs in Vancouver and Toronto and teammates across the country. The Vancouver team gets together every week, and twice a year all of us head to Whistler for a five-day hackathon. Ideas that begin there often make their way into the product, from world-scale rendering and geospatial intelligence to spatial context for AR glasses.

Founder & CEO

Tony Bevilacqua

Tony founded Cognitive3D in 2015 with a simple belief: immersive experiences should be understood, not guessed at. As XR grew beyond experimentation, he saw an opportunity to give teams a clearer view of how people experienced the worlds they built. That belief became Cognitive3D.

More than a decade later, Tony continues to champion a more measurable future for XR. He has shared that vision at AWE, Serious Play, and on the Voices of VR podcast. His focus remains the same, helping the people building immersive technology learn from every experience, and use those insights to make the next one better.

Built by engineers and data scientists

Most of the company works on the platform itself, and our data science team publishes peer-reviewed research. Cognitive3D is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

Where Cognitive3D is used

Four audiences, one measurement layer. Each of these teams asks a different question of the same session data.

  • Training Simulation

    Review what learners did inside the simulation, not just whether they finished.

  • Consumer Research

    See what participants did in immersive shopper and product studies.

    Learn more
  • Games & Entertainment

    Review player behaviour from structured playtests before the next build.

    Learn more
  • Academic Research

    Keep every study session inspectable, from data logging to analysis.
