About
Emergency Building Integrity Scanner (EBIS)
A low-tech, portable and ruggedized device that uses basic sensors and AR overlays (projected rather than relying on smart glasses) to assess the structural integrity of buildings in the event of infrastructure failure. It prioritizes critical repairs needed to prevent collapse.

Future Scenarios that inspired this product idea

Architects will use AR overlays to display real-time building performance data directly on physical structures, aiding in energy efficiency and maintenance.
