Vū Digital, LLC is a technology company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi. It is a subsidiary of C Spire, a telecommunications and technology services company.
History
Vū Digital was founded in 2012 and in 2013 launched its first product, a mobile app named "Vū Finder". The application was a web content aggregator with heuristics. The application is defunct.
In May 2015 Vū Digital launched their proprietary Video-to-Data(V2D) product that converts "all elements within video into metadata". The V2D service uses predictive analytics, natural language processing, face recognition, object recognition, and audio/image detection to extract metadata from video including transcripts of the audio, and time-tagged references to screen text and appearances of persons or images of interest, such as objects or logos. The company is pitching the product as a way to organize the "unstructured data within video" that could be used for "brand valuation, search engine optimization, personalized video delivery, targeted time ads, and archiving, search, and tagging" to "harness video data that will improve search results, click-through rates and traffic". Vice President of Operations B. Wade Smith suggests that the data can be "used by anyone in the video value chain" citing "creators, publishers or marketers". Smith believes that 90% of data will be in video form by 2017. Roger Entner, a telecom industry analyst, remarked that the "practical applications are many" as there is no technology that is capable of organizing unstructured data within video "as easily as this".
