3D Reconstruction
Our 3D reconstruction technology transforms real-world spaces into high-fidelity, navigable digital environments built from imagery captured by phones, drones, cameras, and ROVs. These living spatial models help teams understand sites remotely, locate assets, detect changes, and make faster, safer decisions – without relying on static drawings or costly infrastructure.
Intelligent Field Operations
Our “Intelligent Field Operations” vision proposes a single, queryable spatial data layer that combines drone scans, ground surveys, ROV captures, existing records, geometry, coordinates, and semantic data to answer questions such as where assets are, what they are, how large they are, and what has changed.
The Spexigon Social
Join Niantic Spatial & Spexi for a demo party featuring drinks, live demos, and drone-to-3D in action. See how aerial capture becomes actionable, measurable 3D data, meet the teams, and complete our demo for a chance to win a DJI Mini 3 drone.

Agenda
Location: Main Stage (Atrium Ballroom A)
Opening Keynote – Let’s Get Physical – Enterprise AI in the Real World
Thomas Gewecke, President and COO of Niantic Spatial, discusses what it takes to bring AI out of the cloud and into the physical world. The vast majority of global economic activity happens in real-world environments, where AI systems need accurate, up-to-date spatial understanding to operate effectively. Generative simulations don’t always match ground truth. Digital twins can quickly go stale. Robots trained in synthetic environments can struggle in deployment.
Location: Blue Breakout (Atrium Ballroom B)
Case Study – From Drone to Twin: The Fast Path to Photorealistic 3D Models
Bill Lakeland, CEO of Spexi, discusses how Spexi and Niantic Spatial are moving digital twins beyond pilots and point clouds. See how their drone-to-3D pipeline turns real-world aerial capture into photorealistic, production-ready Gaussian splats at enterprise scale.
Location: Niantic Spatial Booth #120
Demo Party: The Spexigon Social at AES 2026
Join us a demo part hosted by Niantic Spatial & Spexi. This event will include drinks, live demos, and a look at drone-to-3D in action. See how aerial capture becomes an actionable, measurable 3D representation of the real world. In addition, participate in our exclusive demo for a chance to win a DJI Mini 3 drone, and meet the Niantic Spatial and Spexi teams. (Beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks available while supplies last.)
