Immersive Navigation

Enter the World of Your Application. Immersive navigation allows you to step inside a live, spatial representation of your system rather than viewing static dashboards and fragmented data.

Key Capabilities

Visual System Exploration

Move through your application as if you were inside it. See services, flows, and dependencies react in real-time as you navigate the 3D space.

Interactive Problem-Solving

Follow data paths, service interactions, and infrastructure impact with intuitive navigation. Anomalies appear as visual blockages - no need to decipher complex dashboards or query languages.

Spatial Understanding

Leverage human spatial cognition to understand complex distributed systems. Relationships between services become physical distances you can traverse.

Performance Impact

Metric Improvement
Incident Resolution 60% faster
Mean Time To Resolution 40% reduction
Training Time Significantly reduced

How It Works

Desktop Navigation

Use keyboard and mouse to fly through your application topology:

  • WASD - Move forward, backward, left, right
  • Mouse - Look around and aim
  • Scroll - Zoom in/out
  • Click - Select services for details

VR Navigation

With a VR headset, experience true immersion:

  • Teleport - Point and move to locations
  • Controllers - Interact with services and data
  • Head tracking - Natural look-around
  • Room scale - Physical movement in your space

See VR Headset Integration for supported devices.

Benefits

Faster Root Cause Analysis

Navigate directly to problem areas without switching tools or losing context. Visual blockages and anomalies guide you to issues.

Reduced Training Overhead

New team members understand system behavior visually without mastering complex query languages or dashboard configurations.

Enhanced Collaboration

Teams can explore environments together in real-time, sharing perspectives and insights as they navigate the same space.

Improved System Comprehension

Complex distributed architectures become intuitive when you can walk through them. Relationships and dependencies that are hidden in logs become obvious in 3D.

Use Cases

Troubleshooting Sessions

When an incident occurs, enter the immersive environment and navigate to the affected services. See error propagation visually and trace the path to root cause.

Architecture Review

Walk through your system architecture with stakeholders. Show how services connect, where data flows, and identify potential bottlenecks.

Onboarding

New team members can explore the production environment safely, building mental models of the system through direct experience rather than documentation.
