TECHNOLOGY the industry ’ s first completely free 360 ° video capture solution for construction .
It is designed for small jobs up to 10,000sq ft and targets firms who want to try out 360˚ documentation software before fully integrating it into their workflow .
OpenSpace Basic provides a complete , interactive digital replica of a job site , enabling more collaboration between the field and office , assistance with remote site management , and reduce costly rework .
“ Over the past year , we ' ve heard from builders that they wanted to have more access to the automated convenience of our standard video site capture product , which inspired us to create OpenSpace Basic ,” said Jeevan Kalanithi , CEO and co-founder of OpenSpace .
A small 360 ° camera can be attached to hardhats , indicating their starting location on the floor plan in the OpenSpace app , and workers can walk the site as normal .
Computer vision technology stitches images together and pins them to the correct location on the floor plan , creating a digital twin of the job site , and Splitscreen allows two captures to be compared at different times ( pictured ).
For Dante DeFazio , Renovations Project Manager at Virginia Tech Facilities , the benefit of having video capture is clear . " With OpenSpace , I capture everything that I need - plus everything that I didn ' t know I needed , and it takes much less time ."
DeFazio recently changed jobs and was able to use the free version of OpenSpace on a trial basis to speed up adoption with the rest of the team . " I was able to educate my coworkers about it so they could see the benefits of using it before committing to a paid contract . I ' m excited that the free version will now have video capture ."
OpenSpace Basic customers will also have access to unlimited Field Notes , allowing
