SpAItial Echo-3
Converts short phone videos into navigable 3D spaces at real-world scale

About SpAItial Echo-3
Echo-3 is a 3D capture tool that transforms a few minutes of smartphone video into a photorealistic, real-world-scale 3D model. Users record a space by walking slowly around it while following on-screen guidance. The system then reconstructs the environment as a Gaussian Splat scene, which can be explored in a web browser. Measurements can be taken within the model, and shared links allow others to view it without additional software. The SpAItial app provides the capture interface, while a web app enables exploration and sharing. The technology underpins physically grounded world models that represent both real and imagined environments with accurate appearance and physics.

Frequently asked questions about SpAItial Echo-3
What does Echo-3 do?
Echo-3 transforms a few minutes of smartphone video into a photorealistic, real-world-scale 3D model. Users record a space by walking around it while following on-screen guidance, and the system reconstructs the environment as a Gaussian Splat scene.
Who is Echo-3 designed for?
Echo-3 is designed for anyone who needs to capture and explore 3D spaces, including creators, professionals, and enterprises. It is particularly useful for those who want to generate and share interactive 3D models without requiring specialized software.
How does Echo-3 work?
Users open the SpAItial app and walk slowly around the space to capture it. Echo-3 then reconstructs the room as a photorealistic Gaussian Splat scene, scaled to real-world dimensions. The resulting 3D model can be explored, measured, and shared via a web link.
What can I do with the 3D models created by Echo-3?
The 3D models can be explored in a web browser, where users can move through the space, take measurements, and share the model with others via a link. The models are also used to build physically grounded world models that represent real and imagined environments.
Do I need special equipment to use Echo-3?
No special equipment is required. Echo-3 works with a standard smartphone to capture the 3D space. The captured video is processed to generate the 3D model, which can be viewed and shared in any web browser.
Can I integrate Echo-3 with other tools or platforms?
Yes, SpAItial offers an API for developers to generate 3D worlds from their own code. This allows integration with other tools and platforms for expanded functionality.
