What is OpenSpace?
OpenSpace is a leading AI-powered construction documentation platform that automates the capture and analysis of job site conditions. By combining 360-degree cameras with AI and computer vision, OpenSpace enables construction teams to document their sites simply by walking through them.
The platform automatically maps 360 photos to floor plans, creating a Google Street View-like experience of the job site that is accessible from any device. Its AI-powered analysis compares captures to BIM models, tracking progress, identifying issues, and generating automated reports without manual effort.
At THE FUTURE 3D, we recognize OpenSpace as a complementary technology to our 3D laser scanning services. While laser scanning provides millimeter-accurate point clouds, OpenSpace excels at rapid, frequent documentation for progress tracking. We recommend OpenSpace to construction clients who need weekly visual documentation alongside our periodic precision scanning services across Southeast Florida.
OpenSpace Key Features
Comprehensive capabilities that make OpenSpace a professional choice for ai analytics & detection.
Automated 360 Capture & Mapping
Walk through the job site with a 360 camera and OpenSpace automatically maps photos to floor plans. No manual tagging or GPS setup required.
AI Progress Tracking
Computer vision AI automatically detects and tracks construction elements, comparing site conditions to BIM models to measure percent complete.
Street View-Style Navigation
Navigate captured imagery like Google Street View. Any stakeholder can explore the job site remotely from any device with a web browser.
BIM Comparison & Clash Detection
Overlay BIM models on 360 imagery to verify installations match design intent. Identify clashes and deviations before they become costly rework.
Time Travel
Compare any location across different capture dates to track progress over time. Side-by-side or overlay views for visual documentation of changes.
Field Notes & Issues
Pin notes, photos, and issues directly to locations in the 360 view. Assign responsibility and track resolution through the platform.

OpenSpace FAQ
What is OpenSpace?
OpenSpace is an AI-powered construction documentation platform that uses 360-degree cameras to automatically capture, map, and analyze job site conditions for progress tracking and quality control.
How much does OpenSpace cost?
OpenSpace uses custom pricing based on project size, number of sites, and features needed. Contact OpenSpace directly for a quote. Plans are typically priced per project or as enterprise agreements.
How does OpenSpace work?
Walk through your job site wearing or carrying a 360 camera connected to the OpenSpace app. The platform automatically maps photos to your floor plans using AI, creating a navigable visual record of site conditions.
What camera does OpenSpace use?
OpenSpace works with 360-degree cameras including Ricoh Theta Z1, Ricoh Theta X, Insta360 X3, and GoPro MAX. The camera connects to the OpenSpace mobile app during captures.
Is OpenSpace better than Matterport?
They serve different purposes. OpenSpace excels at rapid, frequent construction progress documentation. Matterport creates detailed 3D virtual tours. OpenSpace is better for active construction sites; Matterport for marketing and documentation.
Does OpenSpace replace 3D laser scanning?
No, OpenSpace and laser scanning are complementary. OpenSpace provides rapid visual documentation for progress tracking (photo-level accuracy). Laser scanning provides millimeter-accurate point clouds for precise as-built measurements.
Can OpenSpace track construction progress automatically?
Yes, OpenSpace Track uses AI to automatically compare 360 captures to BIM models, measuring percent complete, identifying deviations, and generating automated progress reports.
Does THE FUTURE 3D use OpenSpace?
We recommend OpenSpace to our construction clients for weekly documentation alongside our precision 3D scanning services. The combination provides both rapid visual records and survey-grade accuracy for comprehensive project documentation.
