Emblematic provides incredible, immersive VR/AR experiences, placing the viwer inside the scene, allowing them to move through, interact, and play with a story.

Additionally they have partnered with the Wallstreet Journal, creating an app that allows the user a 3D visualization of the U.S. stock markets with breaking news, live markets data and 360-video. Emblematic was founded in 2007 by Nonny de la Peña, known as the "Godmother of virtual reality.
