About
About Looq AI
Founded in 2021 by computer-vision researchers Dominique Meyer and Shreyas Niradi, Looq operates as the trade name of LiMAR AI Inc. from San Diego. The company was formed around a practical constraint in infrastructure surveying: conventional laser scanning and fragmented field workflows can make repeat capture costly, slow and difficult to scale across large asset networks.
The qCam is a mobile multi-camera capture device with integrated survey-grade GNSS and onboard AI processing. Field data is processed through the Looq platform into metrically accurate, georeferenced point clouds, imagery and digital-twin outputs used for design, inspection, documentation and asset analysis. The platform is designed for human-operated capture rather than autonomous navigation, but it occupies a direct physical-AI infrastructure layer by converting real-world observations into machine-readable spatial records for downstream engineering and increasingly automated workflows.

Timeline
Events
- 2024-02-27 - Product Launch - Looq AI launches survey-grade digital-twin platform
The end-to-end platform combines the proprietary Q camera, cloud image-to-model processing and collaborative software for georeferenced 3D twins and topographic outputs. Looq positioned the system as a faster, field-portable alternative to conventional laser-scanning workflows for utility and engineering projects. The platform was introduced publicly at DISTRIBUTECH 2024 for survey, engineering and infrastructure workflows.

Longley Capital and Spatial Capital participated alongside lead investor BootstrapLabs. The financing brought Looq AI's cumulative capital raised to $3.75 million, including its earlier pre-seed financing. Looq said the capital would support commercialization of its camera-based spatial-data platform for survey and infrastructure teams.
