Shapetrace

Shapetrace was an investor-backed construction augmented reality startup between 2014 and 2018. It provided a complete field solution with a mobile augmented reality (AR) app that helped construction workers prevent errors. Using a mobile phone on site, architectural 3D designs were overlaid the actual space to let workers "see before they started to build". During construction, the app used live 3D detection to compare designs to the actual conditions to measure progress and detect errors, which automatically updated the schedule.
