The Antigravity A1 360 drone, Niantic Spatial’s Scaniverse, and Apple Vision Pro are such an awesome combo for creating and experiencing Gaussian splats. This one has more than 5 million splats. Still kind of blows my mind.

Some places are worth preserving in every dimension. Captured by Razvan Onisca and reconstructed with Scaniverse, Detunata Goală shows how 3D reconstruction can preserve natural environments, detect change, support hazard awareness, and enable navigation where GPS falls short.

The real world is the ultimate test. Move from pilot to production faster. Turn real deployment sites into simulation-ready digital twins. Train and evaluate robot policies against real-world geometry and conditions before deployment. We’re looking for a small group of design partners to help shape what comes next, from generative variation to a continuous loop between deployment and simulation.Β  πŸ‘‰ Learn more: hubs.ly/Q04y8hc80

Tomorrow at @eccvconf 2026, we’re presenting AutoCompass. Given a photo + a 2D public map, AutoCompass can determine where the camera is and which way it’s facing, even when training data has noisy GPS and no heading labels. The result: precise localization anywhere a public map exists.
