Pilot project with a leading construction company in Hungary

Over the course of a month, we worked across multiple active sites and with a wide range of users. This real-world testing helped us assess both the strengths and limitations of using wearable, vision-based technology in high-paced construction environments.

1. Feasibility and fit - The pilot revealed clear use cases where smart glasses and eye tracking deliver value — as well as scenarios where traditional approaches still hold their place. Construction is a tough environment, and tech has to be robust, intuitive, and genuinely useful to stand a chance.
2. User journey focus – Construction Surveyors - One of the most promising applications emerged with construction surveyors and site supervisors. Smart glasses gave them a hands-free way to capture photos and videos, take notes by voice, and remotely communicate with teams — all without interrupting inspections or walks. This not only reduced administrative load but also enhanced documentation quality and traceability.
3. Real-time site walkthroughs – Gemba in Action - The technology proved especially useful during Gemba walks and technical inspections. Site managers could record what they see — from the perspective they see it — while their gaze data helped highlight what caught their attention. This offers a new layer of insight during safety checks, progress updates, and compliance reviews.
4. Efficiency and possible cost impact  - By streamlining documentation and enabling asynchronous collaboration between central offices and field teams, smart glasses could help reduce delays, cut admin time, and avoid rework. What previously required 15-30 minutes of post-walk administration can now be completed in just 2-3 minutes, with documentation captured automatically during the inspection itself. For instance, rather than waiting for weekly site photos, office-based teams can review a Gemba session minutes after it's recorded
5. Ecosystem integration - The company is also piloting tools like OpenSpace.ai and OpenProject. We see our solution as a complementary layer — enriching existing workflows with immersive, human-centred data. By capturing how people interact with the site environment, we enable smarter decision-making, faster feedback loops, and deeper operational understanding.

We are sincerely thankful to the company for allowing us to test and learn together. These collaborative pilots are critical for shaping how digital tools support the future of construction — not just in theory, but in practice.

This project wasn’t just about testing new hardware — it was about understanding how frontline teams interact with technology in real environments, and how we can reduce friction in their daily work. Whether it’s enabling hands-free documentation or supporting remote collaboration between site and office, our work shows that smart glasses and eye tracking have real potential to enhance construction workflows.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We work closely with teams to integrate practical, human-centred tools into their existing operations — at their pace, on their terms.

Let’s talk about how we can help you future-proof your site operations — one step, one insight, one pilot at a time.
