CrowdOptic's patented technology (U.S. Patent No. 8,527,340) analyzes where people point their mobile and wearable devices to identify activity hot spots, engage users with contextual applications, and curate social media content.

CrowdOptic uses real-time sensor data from electronic devices and its own patented CrowdOptic algorithms to identify and track where devices are aimed (focus) and to identify groups of people with the same focus (clusters). CrowdOptic technology, which includes sensor data smoothing, EXIF data mining and focal analytics, is instantly deployable in a range of mobile applications and technology environments to enhance broadcasting, security, social media sharing and advertising.
