How might we make the jobs of architects, contractors, and real estate agents easier?
Affordable, effortless spacial computation
HOTO Spaces is a compact spatial recording and computation device designed specifically for architects, realtors, and contractors. Its simple form factor and ergonomic design make it an easy and constant companion, expanding the realms of possibilities for spatialnote-taking, retrospective
measurements, and documentation. HOTO Spaces employs a single multifunction touchpad to effortlessly navigate the user interface, eliminating the need for intricate keypads and unidirectional arrows commonly found in geotech products on the market today.
Market Research
Survey of current market offerings, component research, market gap analysis, and user personas





By analyzing the market of spacial computation de-vices, there was an obvious gap in the current pro-cut offerings. As of February 2025, there was no technical device on the market that allowed users to interact with the data they captured in real time as they captured it. This is what HOTO Spaces aims to do.
HOTO Spaces is designed to allow users to record spacial information and real time notes directly into the same data set.
