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.

  • 2024-02-27 - Funding - Looq AI closes $2.6M seed round led by BootstrapLabs

    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.
