OpenSpace Launches OpenSpace Air: New Drone Capabilities Enable Construction Teams to Centralize Reality Data for Faster Insights

Included in every OpenSpace subscription, OpenSpace Air gives construction firms the power
to consolidate all reality data, including drone imagery, in one place for quicker decision-making
and better collaboration

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenSpace, a global leader in 360° reality capture and AI-powered analytics for the construction industry, today announced OpenSpace Air, a new solution that enables construction teams to consolidate all reality data – from drones, 360° cameras, mobile phones, and laser scanners – into a comprehensive visual record accessible from a single platform. Included in every OpenSpace subscription, OpenSpace Air helps construction teams boost technology adoption in the field while giving executives better visibility into project progress for more confident decision-making and stronger client trust.

"With OpenSpace Air, field teams can now quickly and easily work with drone imagery on a platform they know and trust."

"With the drone data integration from OpenSpace, we can now expand outside the four walls of a building to show things that we weren't able to see before, from an extremely valuable perspective," said Scott Wyatt, Project Executive at Gilbane Construction. "Overall, being able to identify items on the project earlier and create efficiencies in our platforms is a big win."

Aerial data from drones delivers value across the project lifecycle, from pre-construction planning and estimation to site surveys, topographic mapping, marketing, and client communications. By pairing aerial imagery with interior reality capture, OpenSpace Air equips teams with a powerful tool to drive insights, improve planning accuracy, and keep projects on track.

With no limits on the number of projects, users, or drone captures, OpenSpace Air is available immediately to all OpenSpace customers with an active subscription. Teams can now import drone imagery and interact with it alongside their existing reality capture data in the OpenSpace platform.

Quickly and easily import and interact with drone imagery
Building on OpenSpace's core principles of ease-of-use, reliability, and speed, OpenSpace Air leverages powerful Spatial AItechnology to deliver reliable, rapid insights for immediate decision making. Key features include:

• Fast upload and processing: Upload 500 images at breakfast – and get results by lunch.
• Drone agnostic: Compatible with any popular drone and flight planning app – no need for specialized hardware or software.
• Comprehensive reality data: Access orthomosaics, point clouds, 3D meshes, and elevation models, in addition to the 360° video, mobile photos, and laser scans already available in the OpenSpace platform.
• Precise analysis tools: Overlay drawings directly onto the map for easy planning and verification.
• Visual comparison: Compare multiple drone flights to track changes and progress over time.
• iOS and Android compatible: Field teams can interact with drone imagery on both iOS and Android devices, increasing on-site adoption.

"We developed OpenSpace Air to address a key challenge from our customers: centralizing all reality data in one place," said Jeevan Kalanithi, CEO of OpenSpace. "OpenSpace Air gives construction executives the ability to track project progress more effectively, make quicker decisions, and reduce tech stack complexity. With OpenSpace already used to capture more than 40 billion square feet of projects, field teams can also quickly and easily work with drone imagery on a platform they know and trust. The combination of aerial and indoor data creates a more complete picture of projects and will become essential for modern construction teams."
