The Origin Story: From Mars to Your Mobile Phone


Originally, the technologies were used on Mars Rovers to capture space graphs, which related to Dr. Ryan Alimo's project with NASA JPL. The story begins with a conversation between Dr. Ryan Alimo and his sister, who works as an architect.


"Why not create a mobile app that captures the space and creates floor plans immediately? It will save us tons of time and effort!"


Easier, Faster and Cheaper Solutions for Floor Plan & BIM Creation


Before AI technologies came in handy, Digital Twin creation could be slow, expensive, and laborious. Laser measures, tapes, notepads, pens... It would take at least 2 skilled personnel more than 30 man-hours to map only a single-family house.
