Recently Joined OpenSpace - Who Am I?

Hello everyone, I am excited to dive into the construction tech space with you, as this is my first time being part of it! I recently joined the OpenSpace Community team and will work with @nikiya to grow and learn from this community to better understand the construction industry. So far, I’ve been looking over this post recently in the community; however, if you have further suggestions for where you like to learn, articles to check out, podcasts to listen to, or who I should connect with in the construction space, drop a comment on the post to let me know!Now on a personal note, let me share a bit about who I am outside of work. My name is Krystal Wu and located in Boston, MA. I was born and raised in MA but have traveled and lived in other locations, yet I always return to this spot. I can’t pass up some of the most magical four seasons of the year. I enjoy doing activities in my free time, such as pilates, yoga, kayaking (but only in the summer), gardening, and skiing. I’ll never

Vehicle Mounted Operation

For those OpenSpace users interested in capturing larger sites, we have combined our 360 camera with hitch mounted poles.  This allows the operator to stay in the vehicle cab around mobile equipment and with a slow idle, can cover rough terrain and larger areas much more effectively.  This mode of capture can stress the route reconstruction so results may vary but is definitely worth exploring for industrial projects.https://wonderpole.com/camera-pole/

[RECAP] Seattle Community Happy Hour (7/26/22) and Innovation Day (7/27/22)

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Seattle Community events last week! ⚾ MARINERS GAMEWe held a Community Happy Hour at the Seattle Mariners game on July 26th, and we had a full house 😱 (or suite, I should say). Our Community really showed up, and it was great meeting so many of you in person for the first time. Thank you all for taking the time to meet the OpenSpace team and meet each other. It was definitely not planned, but the fact that it was an AMAZINGLY entertaining game and the Mariners took home the win at the end of the night was an added bonus 😎 💡INNOVATION DAYWe also held our first-ever Innovation Day on July 27th. This invite-only event was a full day of collaborating with the OpenSpace Product and Engineering teams to tackle new features that solve new problems. Thank you to all our Community members who participated, dedicating an entire day to working with OpenSpace so we can build a better product! We also appreciate all the feedback you provided on the eve

Innovation Day Shoutout

Just wanted to make a post giving a huge shoutout to the team at OpenSpace behind the first Innovation Day in Seattle.  Was an absolute blast being out there and meeting everyone and spending a day brainstorming and hopefully improving the product.  Everyone did a great job making us feel like people’s ideas were being heard and some good feedback was being produced.  I hope that the team and everyone who attended got as much out of it as I did and hope to be able to go to the next one in the future!
