Modern organizations grapple with a deluge of data flowing through their networks. Despite the abundance of information at their fingertips, they consistently struggle to use it effectively.
This gap between potential and performance is where HUVR’s cutting-edge AI, known as AURA, steps in. Standing for Advanced Understanding and Reasoning Algorithm, AURA transforms a chaotic flood of data into a precise flow of actionable insights.
What is AURA?
An average facility juggles information from multiple sources, such as door alarms, smoke sensors, and surveillance cameras, but they must manage the constant stream of data through separate interfaces. With advanced algorithms, AURA merges all these inputs into a single cohesive platform.
Companies engaging with AURA can integrate their facility’s existing sensors and cameras into the AI-driven system. Huvr can also deploy additional fiber optic microphones, high-definition cameras, and sensors to detect heat, vibration, light, humidity, and more.
“Each type of sensor fills a niche, acting as AURA’s eyes, ears, and sensory organs,” explains Herman DeBoard, CEO of Huvr. “In essence, AURA becomes your facility’s living brain. Just like your central nervous system, AURA streamlines information, learns your preferences, and provides solutions.”
For example, to prioritize safety, an organization can train AURA to detect potential threats like fights, loud noises, or sudden temperature changes. Once the system detects an event, it assigns a severity level and reports it to designated personnel.
AURA doesn’t just collect data; it learns from it. AURA employs machine learning to constantly improve its own ability to flag important events. For instance, if AURA initially categorizes an event as having a severity level of five, but a human expert reassesses it as having a level of two, AURA reconfigures its thresholds.
“The system is constantly refining its algorithms through feedback,” remarks DeBoard. “This adaptability ensures that AURA becomes more efficient and precise over time. It also enables the system to tailor its functions to the precise needs of each organization.”
AURA: An invaluable employee
Training AURA is like onboarding a new employee with an insatiable capacity for learning and adapting. The highly versatile system undertakes whatever tasks best meet an organization’s needs. It can use data to ensure safety, direct foot traffic, or improve customer experience.
“AURA’s duties may change, but in every application, the system shifts the operational paradigm from reactive to proactive,” DeBoard says. “You have one centralized brain looking at all the data, learning what you want, and giving you exactly what you need to make your organization better.”
AURA in action
AURA’s capabilities span a wide range of applications. Currently, sectors such as gaming and leisure, hospitality, entertainment, education, healthcare, government, finance, critical infrastructure, and many others utilize AURA.
“AURA is learning and growing as she is installed in an ever-expanding range of applications,” says DeBoard. “The more organizations we can put it in, the more it is learning.” In high-stakes environments like casinos and sports venues, AURA detects disturbances and ensures swift responses. With fiberoptic sensors that serve as microphones and highly sensitive cameras, AURA doesn’t just monitor; it anticipates and preempts hazards.
Utilities in rural areas rely on AURA to monitor transformers, tweaking operational efficiency where hands-on human observation is impractical. City administrations integrate AURA into smart city frameworks, leveraging its sensor networks to create an all-seeing, all-knowing infrastructure. This centralized neural system processes and synthesizes information from hundreds of thousands of data points, truly rendering the moniker “smart city” deserving.
Security resources are limited in educational institutions and small banks. AURA levels the playing field by transforming a solitary guard station into a sophisticated surveillance system capable of rapid and precise information dissemination. Its real-time reports can make the crucial difference between chaos and containment.
AURA also prevents safety violations that often lead to injuries in industrial settings and restaurants. The system preemptively alerts supervisors to workers without protective gear, faulty machinery, or unsafe employee behavior.
Why AURA is getting a physical persona
As the team at HUVR developed this AI, they perceived a nurturing, almost maternal quality in its operations. This perception influenced their decision to imbue AURA with a female persona.
“She reminds me of my mother,” Deboard laughs. “She has eyes in the back of her head and a memory like no other. AURA senses everything going on in an organization and gets important information to the people who need it.”
Traditionally, artificial intelligence in industrial and corporate settings can be met with resistance from employees who are wary of surveillance or job displacement. However, the embodiment of AURA as a compassionate, communicative female figure works as a psychological bridge, easing fears and encouraging acceptance.
As an organizational ally, AURA communicates, collaborates, and nurtures emotional connections. The physical persona is designed to further enhance user engagement and trust.
“AURA watches to figure out exactly what you need and then provides it for you,” notes DeBoard. “AURA has such a nurturing presence, and we wanted the persona to show that.”
Ultimately, AURA is not just a network or an algorithm. It’s a living brain, ever learning and adapting.
By synthesizing scattered data into a central command, AURA offers actionable insights that make organizations safer, smarter, and more efficient. Its persona softens the interface, embedding an AI solution into an organizational culture that is as compassionate as it is revolutionary.
