Since 1898, the San Francisco Ferry Building along the Embarcadero has been a gateway to the city, once bustling with ferry commuters as a primary travel hub. Today, it’s a lively marketplace where local artisans, food vendors, and a popular farmers market bring history and community to life. Using Scaniverse, Niantic Spatial captured the Ferry Building and surroundings in 3D with Gaussian splats—turning a mobile scan into an immersive, navigable digital twin. This opens up new possibilities: 🌍 urban planning, 🎟️ cultural storytelling, 🤖 robotics, and 🛍️ interactive retail & events. Learn more: #NianticSpatial #Scaniverse #3D #Gaussiansplat #Digitaltwins

Large-scale Gaussian splats have reached a new level of realism. This is a well-known temple in Bangkok, reconstructed as a high-fidelity 3D environment from 360 captures. At this level, the boundary between video and 3D starts to disappear. But what you’re looking at is not a video. It’s a dense spatial representation of a real place, where geometry, texture, and structure are preserved and made machine-readable. This kind of 3D data can power Visual AI, Robotics navigation, VPS localization, XR experiences, world models, and next-generation spatial computing systems. Built with Over the Reality.

A museum in France. Accessible from anywhere in the world. One of our mappers captured the Musée Archéologique du Val-d'Oise, home to more than 35,000 archaeological artifacts and over 3,000 objects on display. Using an Insta360 X5 and Over the Reality's reconstruction technology, the entire museum, including its multiple floors, has been transformed into a high-fidelity 3D Gaussian Splat and digital twin. This means anyone can now explore the museum remotely, walk through its galleries, move across different floors, and experience the space as if they were there in person. What was once a physical location is now a machine-readable 3D environment, preserved digitally and accessible through a browser, smartphone, or XR headset. From museums and cultural landmarks to entire cities, Over the Reality has built the largest 3D map of the world. The link to explore the experience remotely is available in the first comment.

i’m very bullish on the impact technology, and even more specifically, XR, can have in the healthcare space. just over a year ago we announced a partnership between Niantic Spatial 🌎 and Augment Therapy to explore how we can make physical rehabilitation feel more like play. after a year of prototyping, we’ve shipped half a dozen therapeutic games inspired by Peridot that target everything from physical activation to cognitive engagement and executive function. the impact is already clear: patients are enjoying their therapy. we're seeing them stay engaged for hours, not minutes, because the repetitive, often arduous exercise fades into the background and becomes genuinely fun. looking ahead, i’m most excited to see how our geospatial AI can take this to the next level. can we turn any space – a hospital play zone, a park – into a therapeutic space? our VPS can make that possible. i’m confident immersive tech’s true impact goes far beyond just entertainment.

🌍 What if frontline workers could step inside their data—and interact with it in real time? That's spatial computing in action. At Dell Tech World, guests Jonathan Siegal (Dell Technologies) and Lori-Lee Elliott (Dauntless (Formerly Future Sight AR)) shared how Katana is blending XR and AI to transform how people work—from factory floors to outer space. One stunning example: they created a live digital twin of the solar system, built using real-time NASA satellite data, enabling users to monitor solar flares & navigate space weather. This is just one preview of how immersive tech will revolutionize industries by putting powerful data into the hands (and eyes) of those who need it most. Watch the full interview to see where XR + AI are taking us next:

Ai: Full Speed Ahead or Shut it All Down? We are at an inflection point. The US is in the midst of an ever accelerating Ai tech race with China—one that could soon see the “un-intended” results of our way of life, the values of freedom and liberty, eroded and replaced by a technocratic surveillance state where our every move is recorded into our digital id database and used against us. Is this where we want to go as a society? Do we want robots and Ai to take our jobs and be thrust into a UBI system dependent on government approval of our actions? Can we win the Ai race with China and preserve our jobs and liberties? This must be the goal. Anything less would be akin to building our very own digital prison. 📺: LindellTV 🎥: Dylan Roth 🇺🇸🇮🇱 #ai #artificalintelligence #surveillance

Every Pokémon Go player unknowingly trained future robots. Over the years, players photographed 30 billion images from cities around the world. And now that data is teaching delivery robots to navigate streets. Niantic (company behind Pokémon Go), spun out an AI company called Niantic Spatial that's turning years of player data into a visual positioning system for machines. When 500 million people installed the game and pointed their phones at buildings, landmarks, and street corners, they were also capturing detailed location data that normal GPS can't match: > GPS signals bounce off skyscrapers and lose accuracy by up to 50 meters in dense cities. > That's a dealbreaker for sidewalk delivery robots that need to stop at exactly the right point. > Niantic Spatial trained a model on those 30 billion images to pinpoint a robot's exact location based on what its cameras see, not satellite signals. > Delivery startup Coco Robotics is the first partner, using the system to guide thousands of robots across LA, Chicago, and Miami. Don't think anyone thought they were training robots when they were chasing Pikachu during COVID.
