DataMesh's meshing together the metaverse for big business

August 9, 2022

Say hi to DataMesh! They build metaverse platforms and tools for enterprises — but they don't use crypto or web3! Now, they've just raised a new funding round. The numbers are hush-hush, but here's what we know.

  • They're US-based but will be setting up their global headquarters in Singapore.
  • They have customers globally, including Southeast Asia and worked with Singtel on 5G@Sentosa in Singapore.


Investor check. SIG Asia Investment led the round. Singtel Innov8 and Global Brain also joined in.


😉 Not all fun and games

They focus on working with companies in manufacturing, construction and operations. With Datamesh's product and XR tech, you can build "metaverses" (aka, digital replicas) of buildings, facilities, equipment, products and more!

  • XR is extended reality, which includes VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) and MR (mixed reality, AR + VR).
  • VR is being fully immersed in a virtual environment (like what you see with VR headsets).
  • AR is virtual objects on top of the real world (like Snapchat AR filters).


⚙️ How it works

These aren't just digital and interactive copies/metaverses. You can also tie them to real-time data and IoT.

  • They don't just look like the real thing — they act like them too. If the machine is broken, the digital metaverse replica will be too!
  • Use a headset to access and experience them, or you can view these on screens to collaborate and discuss in teams.


👷🏻‍♀️ Why it matters

They help you lower costs, increase efficiency and bring offline processes online!

Create realistic virtual simulations to train staff. No more wasting $$$ and risking accidents with real equipment and trainers!
