The real-world model for physical AI
Robots, agents, and autonomous systems need world models grounded in physics and geometry, not imagination
Establishing ground truth for physical AI
We're building for the 80% of economic activity beyond screens — so delivery robots navigate city streets safely, agents can inspect critical infrastructure, and field teams can operate where GPS is interrupted. Trained on billions of images, terrain, drone, and satellite data, our models power three core capabilities: reconstruct, localize, understand.
Reconstruct
We build geometrically accurate digital twins from smartphones, 360° cameras, drones, satellites, and LiDAR — output as meshes and Gaussian splats. We created SPZ, the open-source file format for Gaussian splats now used across the industry.
Localize
Our Visual Positioning System turns aerial and ground capture devices into a precise positioning sensor, delivering accurate localization almost anywhere, including where GPS fails — powered by 50 million neural networks and 150 trillion parameters.
Understand
We are building spatial intelligence: an AI interface to the physical world that you can talk to — one that can understand, measure, and reason about every point in 3D. This marks the shift from physical AI that navigates the world to physical AI that interprets it: understanding what it sees, why it matters, and how to respond/what to do next.
Our research is at the frontier of physical AI
We’re building the foundational models that enable AI to operate in the real world, powering precision, automation, and real-time understanding across physical operations.

ICCV 2025
A transformer-based approach that separates a scene-specific map from a scene-agnostic regressor pre-trained across tens of thousands of environments — maintaining accuracy under novel viewpoints, weather, and lighting conditions without retraining.
Learn moreDoubleTake Geometry Guided Depth Estimation
ECCV 2024
Completes full offline scene reconstruction in 13.8 seconds on edge hardware, with no cloud dependency, and supports persistent scene models that update as ground truth changes — directly relevant to ISR workflows in dynamic or denied environments.
Learn moreScene Coordinate Reconstruction Priors
ICCV 2025
Enhances reconstruction and localization by applying probabilistic and learned 3D priors, improving scene coherence, camera pose accuracy, and downstream tasks like relocalization and view synthesis.

Trusted by industries that demand real-world intelligence
Robotics
Robots lose position indoors and in GPS-degraded environments. We provide continuous, accurate localization without depending solely on GPS.
Oil and Gas
Complex facilities run on outdated models and fragmented data. We deliver a current, precise digital twin of any facility so field operators can visualize, locate, and query every asset in 3D.
Public Sector
Mission outcomes hinge on ground truth. We deliver 3D spatial intelligence for decision advantage – fuse multi-sensor data, search every area of interest, and localize in DDIL environments.
Large Venues
Sprawling venues are hard to navigate and activate. We help power 6DoF AR experiences anchored to every corner of your space.
