← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – July 16, 2026 Theme of the day: 3D is crossing from research demo into production plumbing. One paper collapses the whole structure-from-motion-to-splat path into a single fifteen-minute pass. One self-driving company is hiring to turn splats into synthetic sensor data. One free tool drops generative 3D […]

← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – July 7, 2026 Theme of the day: world models are quietly absorbing 3D reconstruction. One paper says generating a scene and reconstructing one are the same operation. One frontier lab is hiring a scientist to build the generative side of it. One startup just raised 310M

← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – June 29, 2026 Five tracks ship today. Tool was nearly dropped (gsplat 1.5.3 dates to July 2025, FastGS to November 2025, the NVIDIA reconstruction toolbox to June 9), but a second pass on radiancefields.com surfaced COLMAP 4.1.0, released June 26 and squarely in window.

← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – June 24, 2026 **Theme of the day:** making 3D is getting cheap, so the value is sliding past raw geometry. A mesh generator that drops sequential generation for parallel flow, a world model you drive by talking to it from your editor, a job that ships

← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – June 22, 2026 **Theme of the day:** 3D perception is leaving the data center for the thing that moves. A drone that reconstructs as it flies, a robot that fuses its sensors into a scene, glasses that anchor to the world on-device. The plumbing to ship

← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – June 16, 2026 The Gaussian splat is quietly graduating from a research trick into a portable, first-class data type, and today's five signals land all along that path. One photo now becomes a splat inside a node graph anyone can run on their own machine. A

← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – June 15, 2026 **Theme of the day: reconstruction is turning from a per-scene craft into shippable infrastructure.** A splat you predict in one pass instead of cooking per scene. A production reconstruction pipeline that just went Apache 2.0. A world-model lab hiring classical SLAM, not generative

← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – June 12, 2026 Five verified finds. Today's thread is efficiency and infrastructure: the paper shrinks world models to laptop scale, the tool prunes splats without rendering, NVIDIA pays top dollar to maintain a free library, and Leica rebuilt its scanner line around real-time pipelines.

← All 3D Intelligence Reports 3D Intelligence Report – June 11, 2026 Five verified finds. The day's red thread is hard to miss: Gaussian splats crossed from research into infrastructure this week (Apple), while the research front moved on to predicting the future of a scene, not just reconstructing its present (Envision4D).
