Kartoo Information visualization technologies are proposing a unique and innovating solution. Kartoo maps can group a wider range of results according to visual cues such as colour, size, shape and position on a 2D map in order to help users analyze results at a glance and suggest what to overlook and what to examine. It guides users towards the relevant information through the clustering and aggregation of content.

Kartoo wants to improve the experience of people using Information Visualization tools and make their task more effective. The goal is to add value and relevancy by showing a large amount of data on an information 2D map that can be assimilated at a glance.
