BOOM interactive INC.

BOOM interactive INC. is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based software development company specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning for 3D visualization. Founded in 2019 by Timber Barker and the late Henry Yamada, the company develops proprietary AI that reads, recognizes, and learns from 2D floor plans, sketches, and line drawings to generate interactive 3D environments in real-time. The idea originated in 2015 when the founders, then running a marketing technology company, identified a need for better real-time collaboration tools for their architecture clients. Timber Barker's technology background combined with Henry Yamada's artistic vision led to the creation of the company's patented technology. Sadly, Henry Yamada passed away in January 2022, but his vision remains central to the company's mission.

The company's business model revolves around its patented AI technology, which is packaged into several industry-specific products. Its flagship product, Bubbles™, is a platform that allows users to turn plans into 3D project management tools, initially targeting the construction, remodeling, and renovation industries. BOOM interactive also developed CoreSpec 3D™ for property management and ZERO™ for location management in film and TV production. The company serves a diverse client base across construction, interior design, film & TV, retail, education, and public safety. Revenue is generated through these products and by licensing its underlying IP. BOOM interactive has secured funding from investors including a $1.3 million seed investment from Tamarak Capital in 2021 and a $5.5M SAFE Note investment announced in 2022.

The core service is an AI-powered platform that transforms 2D images into editable 3D digital twins. Key features include the ability to extrude floor plans into 3D scenes, scan spaces using AR and LiDAR, and utilize a suite of tools for editing, measuring, and annotating within the 3D environment. The platform is built for real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to co-work, chat, and manage projects across different devices. A significant unique selling point is its generative AI solution which can create photorealistic renders almost instantly. The company also has a version called R3D™, developed in partnership with the Basha family, aimed at the grocery and retail industries.
