Smarter Building Podcast Ep. 8 - Back to the Future with Oculo
In this episode of our Smarter Building podcast, we caught up with Tom Kotecki, Co-Founder & CEO at Oculo, on becoming a tech entrepreneur, how digital site capture technology is becoming the future of project progress tracking and why organisations are adopting this now.

Oculo AI is a digital Construction solution that leverages the power of 360° cameras, advanced computer vision and machine learning to create a virtual copy of any construction site that is regularly updated and can be accessed online from anywhere in the world.
Tune in to learn how to virtually transport yourself to a certain point in time on your construction site, behind walls and into roof cavities, and how this can help you evidence fire safety measures and reduce the physical need to be on-site. Discover the reasons why organisations are eagerly adopting this technology to optimise construction processes, and gain valuable insights on how digital site capture enhances communication, fosters collaboration and streamlines workflows.
"As this is being adopted more and more, the benefits are becoming more and more clear. The tech is de-risked, it's proven there's more and more examples of companies having adopted it successfully."
