The THETA Z1 is Ricoh’s premium 360° camera. With the highest image quality of all the THETA models, the THETA Z1 also has an improved lens, superior noise reduction, and more accurate image stitching. While we’ve supported manual photo capture for the THETA Z1 for some time, we now support the full 360° video capability…
We recently announced the release of OpenSpace Basic, the industry’s first completely free 360° video capture solution for construction. OpenSpace Basic allows builders to easily create a complete, interactive digital replica of a job site for free. We hope this enables more collaboration between the field and office, assists with remote site management, and helps teams avoid…
OpenSpace was created to empower builders. When our founders began talking with construction teams, they quickly saw the frustrations that were faced every day on the job site, and they knew they needed to create a solution. Rather than working on OpenSpace in a silo, they tested ideas and prototypes in the field. The result…
Have you ever had subcontractors show up to a job site only to be turned away because the site wasn’t ready for them? If so, you know there is nothing more crucial to a project’s success than progress tracking. But it’s also one of the hardest things to get right. Many GCs today are still…
For the last few months, ever since the release of the iPad Pro, we have been experimenting with Apple’s new LiDAR sensor. The results have been great, and in anticipation of the launch of the new iPhone 12 with LiDAR, we invested in some R&D on a feature that we call 3D Scan™. While this…
OpenSpace has become a crucial part of the workflow for many construction companies this year, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and partly because our product allows teams to work more quickly and efficiently. Our goal is to give you greater visibility into your job sites so you can complete your projects on time and…
We’ve been thinking hard about how we can contribute to all those who need help during the COVID-19 crisis. We’ve been thinking specifically about how we can help those we serve – the builders and developers of this country, and the world.
OpenSpace’s 360 photo documentation software unlocks workflow improvements. Our products and services integrate with leading industry tools like Procore, PlanGrid and Autodesk’s BIM 360. Our “Link to Procore” button brings data directly from the field into daily construction workflows, while our fully-featured BIM Viewer enables side-by-side comparisons in just a few clicks. Seamless product and service integrations means time saved–so you can focus on more important things. Read about our Procore integrations.
The technology behind OpenSpace’s patent-pending algorithms and 360° photo documentation software is the culmination of nearly two decades of combined research and development using these foundational technologies. The team first began working in computer vision and big data visualization at MIT, where they were earning their PhDs. Similar to the technology behind self-driving cars, these…
