Most digital twin investments stall for one reason: They’re not grounded in how the world actually looks today. Niantic Spatial’s Reconstruction capability fixes this, creating a living, machine-readable 3D model that stays in sync with reality, so every system, team, and workflow operates from the same ground truth. In a new blog by Trista Pierce, Business Development Lead, explore how Scaniverse’s Reconstruction technology changes the cadence entirely. Read more:

World models that aren't grounded in the real world will never reach their potential for physical AI. 🌎 Just as RAG cut hallucination in LLMs, location-specific grounding lets robots choose the right action in the right place.

Today, Niantic Spatial introduces Scaniverse — our flagship product and the gateway to our spatial intelligence platform and Large Geospatial Model. Here’s what’s new: 🔹Scaniverse (iOS mobile + web): Capture once, generate multiple outputs—VPS maps, meshes, and Gaussian splats (Android coming soon) 🔹Collaborative mapping: Multi-user scans fused into a single, continuously improving model 🔹 On-device validation: Preview VPS coverage and test localization in real time 🔹VPS 2.0: Global-scale positioning—centimeter-accurate where mapped, reliable everywhere else (even where GPS fails) 🔹NSDK 4.0 (coming soon): A unified SDK across Unity, Swift, Android, and ROS 2 Read more: #NianticSpatial #Scaniverse #VPS #GeospatialAI #AI

Gaussian splats look impressive—but robotics needs more than photorealism. Niantic Spatial generates an aligned collision mesh alongside every Gaussian splat, creating machine-readable digital twins with accurate geometry, depth, and collision awareness. Built for Spatial AI, Physical AI, and simulation in NVIDIA Robotics Isaac Sim. Learn more: #GaussianSplats #SpatialAI #PhysicalAI #3DGS #3DReconstruction #AI #ComputerVision

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.

SPZ 4 is here. 🚀 3–5x faster encoding. 2x faster loading. 20x faster in the browser. Tens of millions of points, no sweat. The "JPG for 3D Gaussian splats" just leveled up. Big thanks to everyone who made this release happen, especially the team at Adobe. Read more: #NianticSpatial #Scaniverse #SPZ #GaussianSplat #Reconstruction #PhysicalAI #GeospatialAI #AI #Adobe

We built maps for people. Now, we’re building a new kind of map for robotics and AI. 🤖📍 Niantic Spatial CEO John Hanke shares why this foundation will be as essential to the future of AI as digital maps were for the web. 80% of the global economy operates in the physical world. For AI to truly scale, it must move beyond chatbots and synthetic worlds. It needs to navigate, understand, and safely interact with our reality.

What if Real2Sim environments took an afternoon to build? Niantic Spatial turns mobile, 360° camera or drone capture into high-fidelity 3D Gaussian environments for humanoid robotics training—no LiDAR or specialized rigs required. See how we’re closing the Real2Sim gap with NVIDIA Robotics + Flexion. 👇 #Real2Sim #Robotics #PhysicalAI #Simulation #GaussianSplatting #SpatialAI #3DGS

80% of the world’s economy exists in the physical world. AI has barely touched it. Niantic Spatial is building real-world foundation models that give AI the spatial intelligence to understand, navigate, and interact with 3D environments. From robotics and autonomous systems to machine-readable cities, #PhysicalAI could unlock an entirely new layer of the global economy. As CEO Inhi Cho Suh puts it: “We’re just getting started.” #WorldModels #SpatialAI #Robotics #AI

🏛️The Musée national des Monuments Français preserves centuries of history. In many ways, #Scaniverse is becoming a museum for the world—helping anyone preserve places, landmarks, and moments as explorable 3D Gaussian Splats. Love seeing how much sharper and more photorealistic the latest reconstructions are. Even distant backgrounds, text, and fine details have improved noticeably. ✨ Have an amazing reality capture to share? Enter the #SplatYourWorld Challenge by July 31 for a chance to win a share of $4,000 USD. #GaussianSplats #3DGS #RealityCapture #AI
