Employment

Kevin Hart is the Founder and CEO of Aireal, a pioneer in Geospatial Augmented Reality and Pixel Streaming technology. Under his leadership, Aireal has evolved from a sports and entertainment enhancer to a transformative force in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Hart's innovative approach has revolutionized the way structures are designed, experienced, and built, serving clients across various sectors and significantly improving efficiency and client satisfaction. The transition to a completely different industry required an immense amount of self education and research to become a domain expert prior to creating solutions for the industry.

In 2013, Hart founded Aireal with a vision to remove the limitations of traditional augmented reality experiences. His groundbreaking concept of Geospatial Augmented Reality, which allows for precise placement of augmented content globally without additional hardware beyond a mobile device, earned him several global patents. Hart's strategic pivot to the AEC industry showcased his ability to identify and solve critical industry pain points, which resulted in reducing change orders by over 66% and unifying expectations between builders and buyers.
