An interview with Kevin Dowling, CEO of KAARTA

Abstract

The name ‘Kaarta' is a phonetic reference to cartography, the science or practice of map making, and all things cartographic. Kaarta, the company, is all about mapping and localization. The name – with the extra a added for effect – captures the company's pioneering take on mapping to produce 3D models in real time. The name is not about the technique we use, it's about the problems we solve.
