Delta Cygni is a triple star in the constellation of Cygnus – Latin name for swan. This third magnitude star is placed in the northern wing of swan and projected on the Orion-Cygnus arm of the Milky Way, our galaxy, where the Solar system is located. Due to precession – the periodic movement of Earth’s rotation axis – Delta Cygni will become the new Polar star near year 11250 AD.
"Labs" in the name signifies the strong research foundation of the company. Our logo – the Delta in the shape of rising black swan – refers to the unexpected events having a major impact on the history of humanity by the Black Swan theory.
Delta Cygni Labs is solving technical human-to-human communication problems for industry, by applying scientific results and fundamental concepts of Cybernetics, Human-Machine-Systems and Augmented Reality.
