Uma is a Vienna, Austria–based semantic web technology company that developed one of the first semantic engines for the web, Melvil, in 1998 (four years after its founding). It recently introduced uma SKIN, a semantic display product aimed at digital content producers including corporations, retailers, and brands. Uma SKIN integrates large-scale multitouch LCD displays with the company's semantic web content curation engine to deliver personalized content. The product tracks users with RFID and NFC technology and detects motion using 3D sensor cameras. Named clients include OTTO Group, Republic of Austria, Siemens, Intel, IBM, 3, Red Bull and L’Oréal. The company raised $1.1 million from TheMerger.com and multiple private European investors and has added new board members to support growth.
