for physical AI to work in the real world, it needs high-fidelity 3D models of the real world. not just for visualization — for localization, spatial reasoning, and real-to-sim workflows that close the gap between training and deployment. at Niantic Spatial 🌎, we're turning Spexi drone imagery into exactly that — city-scale Gaussian splats grounded in the environments that matter most.

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.

“Do you know where a sidewalk begins and ends?” — a simple question from Niantic Spatial CEO, Inhi Cho Suh, that gets to the heart of what today’s AI is missing. For robots, this isn’t theoretical. To safely navigate something as everyday as a sidewalk, they need to understand boundaries, context, and change in real time.

Physical AI for defense and intelligence starts with an accurate model of the world – high-fidelity, geometrically grounded, built for the environments where it actually matters. Today, Niantic Spatial 🌎 is awardable on the Department of War 🇺🇸’s Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace for 3D Reconstruction, our second capability to clear that bar after Visual Positioning, announced earlier this month. Together they deliver two critical layers of the spatial stack: high-fidelity 3D models of contested environments, and precise location within them; a foundation for mission-critical operations that need to visualize and navigate the physical world. The capability is ready. The procurement path is open.
