Niantic Spatial 🌎

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: hubs.ly/Q049Tpkb0 #NianticSpatial #Scaniverse #VPS #GeospatialAI #AI

robots can't learn by failing in the real world. that's why they train in simulation. but sim2real deployment usually misses the mark. at @nianticspatial we're closing that gap with @flexionai & @nvidia. the workflow is simple: 360° video > geometrically accurate 3D world models > USDZ for real2sim2real policy training > real world deployment.

🤖Zero-shot real2sim2real navigation – demonstrated end to end on a real humanoid. Niantic Spatial and @FlexionAI are partnering to close the gap from Real2Sim to Sim2Real for humanoid robots, demonstrated end to end on @NVIDIARobotics Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab: an RGB-only navigation policy, trained entirely in simulation, that transfers zero-shot to a real office. ✨What once took days of hand-building now takes minutes. A few minutes of 360° video becomes a photorealistic, metric-scale digital twin: a Gaussian splat paired with an aligned collision mesh, exported as a single USDZ for Isaac Sim.

Finding a single valve in a refinery still often means paper instructions, repeat field trips, and static photos. What if workers could simply point a device at their surroundings and know exactly where they are—and what they're looking at? ExxonMobil's Michael Hotaling joins Niantic Spatial's Eric Johnsen to discuss how Visual Positioning System (VPS) is transforming field operations, maintenance, and the future of Physical AI. 📹 Unlock the full conversation: hubs.ly/Q04pl5VS0 #NianticSpatial #ExxonMobil #OilAndGas #FieldOperations #3DReconstruction #VPS #IndustrialAI #AI #PhysicalAI

at @nianticspatial we're making it easier than ever to bring high-fidelity 3D models of the real world into physical AI workflows with @nvidia isaac sim. scaniverse now supports USDZ outputs from all 360° camera capture, enabling easier real-to-sim robotics training.

The best simulations start with the real world. Today we're launching USDZ export in Scaniverse, making it easy to turn a 360 capture into a simulation-ready digital twin for @nvidia Isaac Sim. Built with input from robotics software company @FlexionRobotics, this workflow combines a high-fidelity Gaussian Splat with an automatically generated, aligned mesh - making it faster and more affordable to bring real-world environments into robot training.

Boston's revolutionary history, anchored to the exact streets where it happened. Today Echoes of Revolution: Boston launches free on iOS and Android — a city-scale AR experience from @sugarcreative in partnership with @Ubisoft and Revolutionary Spaces, timed to America's 250th. It runs on Niantic Spatial's Visual Positioning System, which anchors digital content to the physical world with sub-10cm accuracy. That precision is the point: we build real-world foundation models for physical AI that make the world machine-readable for people and machines, and VPS is the layer that gives developers geometrically accurate, real-world coordinates to build on. Proud to support Sugar Creative and Ubisoft in showing what that foundation unlocks.  Curious what you'd build on VPS? → hubs.ly/Q04mK4Q30 #NianticSpatial #VPS #SugarCreative #Ubisoft #AugmentedReality #PhysicalAI #AI #GeospatialAI

To operate in the physical world, AI needs more than simulations—it needs to understand the real world. At @Founders_Forum Global, Niantic Spatial Founder & Executive Chairman @johnhanke joined Chad Edwards (@cusp_ai), Tim Rocktäschel (@Recursive_SI), and Emily Turner (@HSBCInnovation) to discuss the next frontier of AI training moving beyond text to new domains including the physical world. We're building the spatial intelligence layer that helps AI understand, localize, and navigate real-world environments. #NianticSpatial #PhysicalAI #Robotics #AI #GeospatialAI #FFGlobal2026 #FoundersForum #FFG

🤖 Robots can't navigate on hallucinations. They need to understand the real world. At #NYTechWeek, Kit Gilbert, Head of Strategic Partnerships explained, “Generative world models have a critical role to play at scale. But you need ground truth. We think it becomes more important, not less important, in the world of generative AI.”  As AI moves beyond the cloud and into the physical world, Niantic Spatial’s Large Geospatial Model provides the ground truth and foundation that makes Physical AI possible. #PhysicalAI #EmbodiedAI #Robotics #SpatialIntelligence #AI #NYTechWeek #NianticSpatial

“The opportunity here is to leverage this new technology to be vastly more efficient in the atom part of the economy — the moving and making and building part. That can give us more prosperity if we manage it correctly.” — John Hanke, Niantic Spatial Executive Chairman & Founder That was one of the key themes explored at #AISummit London, where @johnhanke joined @zac_rash (@CocoRobotics) and Stephanie Hare (@BBC) for a discussion on “Modeling Reality: When AI Leaves the Cloud and Starts Walking the Streets.” The conversation focused on how advances in AI are beginning to transform the physical economy including industries responsible for moving goods, building infrastructure, manufacturing products, and operating in the real world. #NianticSpatial #LondonTechWeek #PhysicalAI #Robotics #WorldModels #AI
