Company mission

Loci's mission is to make 3D creation easier and more accessible through AI-assisted workflows.

Our take

With increased interest in virtual environments, companies seek to create and maintain 3D assets. However, it is difficult to make these assets from scratch without specialist knowledge, and it can be difficult to find or discover 3D creations due to low quality tagging and ill-adept search tools. Loci uses innovative computer vision and graphics methods to enable clients to automatically label their 3D content, search for existing 3D assets, and create new ones from arbitrary text prompts.

Loci is a novel machine learning platform for tagging, searching, and creating any form of 3D content. Its virtual camera converts video footage into immersive digital worlds – enabling the creation of 3D models from real life – in an effort to bridge the gap between virtual reality and reality, with applications ranging from video game environment creation, to virtual viewings for real estate. Additionally, the company enables clients to understand their 3D content at scale, by providing an effective way for them to keep track of 3D assets.

The company has received good levels of investment to accelerate development, with a current focus on the 3D search aspect of its offering. Its ultimate goal is to be the go-to platform for creating digital worlds from real-life scenes.
