Floored

We just moved in to our new offices in Soho—check out that view!

Our awesome team has been growing rapidly and we’ve stretched the limits of the wonderful incubator space provided by Accel.

Our new office has plenty of space for everyone, a full kitchen, super-fast internet, and a gorgeous roof deck. We’ve also have lots of extra space for new additions.

We’re very excited about our new space; great things will be happening here!

Last month, we gave a short presentation about the engineering work we do at Floored, with a focus on iOS and integrating with Unity.

It was a great experience and we got very positive feedback. Thanks to everyone there and Charlie O’Donnell for organizing.

Check out our slides from the event:

At Floored, we use a proprietary camera built by Matterport to automatically generate 3D models of interior spaces. As they say though, that’s not all—after we get the mesh and textures, we process them in several ways to add intelligence to what was initially just a list of vertices and faces.

Here is the output of some of those processing steps; we wanted to share them because we think they look really neat and because if you think this is cool, we are hiring :).
