OpenSpace (

), the global leader in automated 360° jobsite photo documentation and 
AI-powered analytics, today announced the release of OpenSpace Basic (

) to qualified builders in the U.S. OpenSpace Basic is the industry's first 
completely free 360° video capture solution for construction. The new product 
is based on the company's signature automated documentation platform and allows 
builders to easily create a complete, interactive digital replica of a job 
site. This enables more collaboration between the field and office, assists 
with remote site management, and helps teams avoid costly rework.

To use OpenSpace Basic, a builder snaps a small 360° camera to their hardhat, 
indicates their starting location on the floor plan in the OpenSpace app, walks 
the site as normal, and uploads the capture. Once uploaded to the cloud, 
OpenSpace's computer vision technology stitches images together and pins them 
to the correct location on the floor plan, creating a trusted, single source of 
truth. With OpenSpace Basic, builders can record their site's progress in 360° 
each week for free.

Using OpenSpace Basic, builders can improve processes like stakeholder 
coordination, progress updates, and pay applications, at no cost. Through 
OpenSpace Basic, builders of all sizes can take advantage of the latest in 
construction technology. For those who want to adopt the technology at a 
greater scale, the transition to paid products like OpenSpace Project ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3254461-1&h=2291214169&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openspace.ai%2Fproducts%2Fproject%2F&a=OpenSpace+Project 
) or OpenSpace Enterprise ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3254461-1&h=2063951913&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openspace.ai%2Fproducts%2Fenterprise%2F&a=OpenSpace+Enterprise 
) is simple.

For Dante DeFazio, Renovations Project Manager at Virginia Tech Facilities, the 
benefit of having video capture is clear. "When I take photos with a camera, I 
concentrate on taking the photos that I think I need in the future. I don't 
want to take thousands of photos of things that I may not need. 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 builders to snap images of punch list items or RFIs, add in relevant 
notes, and then automatically attach the information to the correct position in 
the digital replica and floor plan.

"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.
