    Creating immersive 3D worlds has never been easier! Super excited to share Echo, Spaitial's first 3D foundational model! Converting interiors to rococo style is my favorite application so far 😃

    🚀 Announcing Echo — our new frontier model for 3D world generation. Echo turns a simple text prompt or image into a fully explorable, 3D-consistent world. Instead of disconnected views, the result is a single, coherent spatial representation you can move through freely. This

    How can we use test-time compute for spatial understanding? 🤔 In InterPose, we propose to repeatedly sample generative video models to help two-view pose estimation and reconstruction, by leveraging the video models' keyframe interpolation abilities. A 🧵... (1/8)

    After 8 wonderful years at Google, I decided to leave Google and try something new! Working at Google was a dream come true for me, and 4 internships and 8 years later, I couldn't feel more grateful about my experience. A 🧵

    So happy that Project Starline was just announced! Using real-time 3D imaging, compression, spatialized audio and a lightfield display, Project Starline makes you feel like you are across someone else!

    While updating NeRF-in-the-Wild, we added 3 more scenes to the paper: Prague's Old Town Square, Hagia Sophia & Taj Mahal. They came out pretty well! I could not resist myself and created a demo reel / virtual world tour video showcasing the results at 720p60hz! Enjoy! 😃
