Founded in 2017 by Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO, OpenSpace is a construction tech company using artificial intelligence to automatically create navigable, 360° photo representations of job sites. Builders attach an off-the-shelf 360° camera to their hardhat and walk the site as normal, with OpenSpace handling image capture. After the data is uploaded to the cloud, algorithms automatically map the images against a site plan, organizing them and then stitching them together to create a photo representation that can be navigated and compared over time.
Founded in 2017, OpenSpace is deployed on projects exceeding $50B in total value in the United States and around the world.
