Previously, obtaining 3D data of a specific location required hiring a professional survey team equipped with LiDAR scanners, booking weeks in advance, and paying daily rates—making it viable only for large projects with substantial budgets. @vangrid_io solves this supply-demand problem the same way ride-hailing disrupted traditional taxis: instead of hiring a fixed team, users post their needs as bounties. Anyone nearby with a smartphone can instantly accept the task—no advance booking required, no specialized equipment needed. The real value lies in order-matching speed: for a rarely visited location, the bounty may take longer to be claimed due to low natural supply. For a high-traffic location, the bounty is typically claimed almost instantly. The market self-distributes according to each location’s actual scarcity, eliminating the need for manual coordination. Important limitation: this model depends on having enough people near the target location. Remote, low-traffic areas remain challenging—even with the bounty mechanism—in part because it’s not a magic solution that fills every data gap.
