As we reach the finish line on 2021, Uncharted is again reflecting on all the inspiring work and amazing teams we’ve had the privilege of being a part of. This year is especially meaningful to us, as it marks the 20th anniversary of our founding!
To celebrate the occasion, we designed our annual holiday card to enumerate and chart memorable new heights over the years, leading up to this special moment in our history. Follow our journey below, starting back in 2001, through uncharted territory in diverse research areas such as visual analytics, machine learning, big data, augmented reality and more. As you take in the climb, note the many markers of Uncharted growth over the years: the expansion of our office space and our talented staff, the accumulated body of peer-reviewed publications, and the global reach of our GeoTime products. For more information on the milestones achieved along the way, check out the links below the chart.
