What is considered the current best model camera for captures?

Hopefully starting up OpenSpace on a new project and I really noticed that from my last project the quality difference of captures from earlier in the job (2020) vs recently is pretty dramatic. We upgraded which camera we used midway through the project and it makes the earlier captures almost seem useless in comparison to the increased detail we get now. Just curious what the recommendation for the current best camera specifically for use in capture walks. Thanks.

Use Case Highlight: More Than Boots on the GroundUse Case Highlight

🔍 OpenSpace scavenger hunts, drones and more get the next generation of students excited about construction Virtual reality goggles, drones and laser scanners. All three might be found on the holiday wish list of your average middle schooler, but students may not realize that contractors use these same tools to build new futures in their communities every day.On the Wilson Family YMCA project in Wilson, North Carolina, a joint venture partnership between Balfour Beatty and Holt Brothers Construction, our team leveraged OpenSpace technology to attract the next generation of construction industry talent and demonstrate just how exciting virtual design and construction (VDC) tools can be.As the contractors building the new Wilson Middle School After School (MSAS) facility, we recognized the opportunity to make an even deeper and more personal investment in the program. By providing students with hands-on VDC experiences and jobsite visits, Balfour Beatty and Holt Brothers exemplified ou

Facial blur blurring out more than just the face/body.

Hey all, I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else is having issues with the facial/body blur that is implemented? We’ve ran into issues where some blurs blur well too much area(1) or blurs something that resembles nothing like a face(2). Example of problem #1: The face is blurred, the body is blurred, but so is approximately 30-40% of the image where there is no individual.Example of problem #2: Some structures and piles get blurred in some images but not all.Feel free to share other issues you have ran into when it comes to the facial/body blur.

Project Highlight: Hurricane Ian Relief, Pink Shell Resort and Gilbane Building CompanyProject Highlight

What?Gilbane Building Company, a globally integrated construction firm, utilized OpenSpace to document the Pink Shell Resort complex in Fort Myers after Hurricane Ian struck the west coast of Florida this past fall. Pink Shell Resort is a large condominium complex located on Estero Island and consists of three buildings with nine stories and 205 units in total. After Hurricane Ian passed, the Gilbane team was called in to help assess damage to the resort, begin demolition on floors that needed repairs, and start remediation work on lower levels of the building. Why is this important? Hurricane Ian struck Florida this past September and devastated a majority of the state. It’s estimated that the hurricane caused $40-$70B of property damage and displaced thousands of residents. The Fort Myers area was hit especially hard and locations such as Estero Island lost all power, water, gas, and sewer.Due to the size and magnitude of damage, the Pink Shell Resort posed a challenge for both the

Are there ways to deploy and integrate openspace in another solution?

Hi, I was thinking whether there is a way to integrate openspace into our (client specific) ui application with APIs and eventually over iframe. Do you guys have experience with that?

Location Tracking through phone

Does anyone else have issues with the location tracking? When I take a capture it forces me to change the location tracking to ‘always on’. I would prefer ‘only when using the app’, but it doesn’t seem to accept that. A day or so later after updating the setting so I can capture on the job site - my phone notifies me and asks if I really want the openspace app to be always tracking. No, I would prefer not. So I change it back. I have to continually go back and forth in order to get a successful capture.It doesn’t seem like all my co-workers have this issue, but I have noticed it with some. What setting am I missing?

Be one of the first to try OpenSpace Track Schedule Analytics!

📢 You heard it here first!OpenSpace Track can now integrate schedule dates, providing not only automated progress tracking but also comparison of project progress against the project schedule.Never lose track of an activity again, and get notified of potential delays in the field before they’re visible on site! With Track Schedule Analytics, OpenSpace compares observed progress in the field to anticipated progress based on the project schedule, and lets you know whether you’re ahead, on, or behind schedule for each tracked activity. Track also uses observed productivity to forecast completion dates, and automatically generates a required rate of production needed to correct for any potential delays. We announced Track Schedule Analytics back at this year’s Waypoint, but we’re excited to offer a first access to the live product to our OpenSpace Community 🙌 👉 Have a Track project and want to try Schedule Analytics for yourself?Reach out to your Customer Success Manager, Solutions En
