Japanese construction group seeks innovations in creating point cloud models

Deadline: December 24, 2020

Aizawa Concrete is a nearly 85 year old Japanese company that is looking to modernize the construction industry. In order to create a digital revolution in construction, we think it is necessary to develop a system for creating a virtual world that accurately represents a physical space in the real world. We are already in the process of developing such a system, but will need some help along the way. In order to create accurate digital reconstructions, we will need to address the high cost associated with purchasing and operating current LiDAR systems. We also need to create a streamlined process for creating and updating point cloud models from the data collected. We believe this technology has the potential to change the world, so please contact us if you have expertise in any of the following:

  • Point cloud capture technology to replace traditional LiDAR
  • Point cloud model generation and modification techniques
  • Hardware for creating for digital twins
  • Point cloud object identification technology
  • Blockchain-based point cloud update technology
  • Scanning technology for product identification on the production line

Responsible unit is Aizawa Designers and Architects Collective. For more information, please visit their website: https://www.aizawa-group.co.jp/

Pilot projects over the coming 6 months are a likely next steps for startups that meet our criteria.
