Our take
360 photos and virtual tours are nothing new. Popularly used to enhance estate agent listings, or create tours of attractions, tools such as Kuula, Panoskin, and Matterport have captured that market. OpenSpace is applying similar technologies to another industry sector - construction.
With a simple store-bought camera attached to a hard hat, a site walk-through creates a virtual 3D replica of any space. This detailed capture, reminiscent of Google Street View, eliminates the need for site visits, saving time and also reducing risks of visitors to building sites.
It’s not unlikely that other 360 virtual tour companies will branch out to offer their services within the construction industry, but OpenSpace hopes to keep the lead with this product due to its superior processing speed, with results in just 15 minutes as opposed to the hours of days it can take with some similar systems. It is well placed to maintain its position following series D funding that is being invested into scaling the business and developing additional AI-powered technologies.
