OnSight is an award-winning communications platform that uses immersive technology to connect project stakeholders and bring them virtually on site for better outcomes without travel.
The Problem
Social sector organizations face many barriers to clear communications-distance, language, culture, insecurity, poor infrastructure, etc. - that cause gaps in knowledge and understanding of complex field contexts and limit the participation of field-based staff, partners and communities, hindering decision making, and ultimately project outcomes and impact.
The OnSight Solution
OnSight harnesses the power of Virtual Reality and 360° imagery to connect diverse and distant project stakeholders for better, faster decision-making that improves project outcomes and increases social impact.
Understand Complex Field Contexts
Visit project sites without travel.
Contextual understanding is crucial to designing and implementing solutions to complex social problems. OnSight's immersive technology takes stakeholders virtually on sites to “experience” the realities of project contexts.
Democratize Communication
Inclusive and equitable participation of the field.
Grassroots stakeholders on the frontlines of solving social problems and with the strongest contextual knowledge, often face the greatest communication barriers. OnSight democratizes communication by using visual data that can be annotated with multi-language translation, drawings, or embed audio messages.
Connect and Collaborate
Seamless work across locations and devices.
Onsight’s fosters collaboration by making it possible for stakeholders across geographies and organizational hierarchies to view, share, discuss and annotate immersive content. Our multi-directional platform enables lateral communications as well as fostering bottom-up participation for greater inclusion of the field in decision-making.
Improve Efficiency
& Transparency
Automatic and simple project tracking.
Virtual Reality and 360° images enhance transparency becuase “where there are no corners to hide in.” OnSight automatic time stamps and records GPS locations of images and tetters them to maps to improve transparency and accuracy of reporting on the project timeline and location. Mapping features ground projects geographically as well as to processes, plans, physical plants, and timelines so stakeholders can follow and support work
Storytelling for Impact
Easy visual stories and reports
Reporting and storytelling – OnSight users combine project images, video and data (text, audio, maps, timelines) into interactive stories and virtual project tours that provide useful context and information through visceral immersive experiences. Stories and reports can be generated for various purposes and audiences with assistance from OnSight wiki-style templates
