3D spatial data service

by @Klsimek

I’m building a service for capturing, viewing, and sharing 3D spatial data. It currently supports ARKit and Apple LiDAR, enabling users to perform room scans within seconds and allows real-time streaming of 3D video, all viewable on the web using WebRTC and WebGPU. The plan is to enable any tracked camera to relocalize against the same coordinate frame and share spatially-anchored data with one another, enabling across-ecosystem interoperation of spatial computing systems. For example, a human with an iPhone can scan their home and use that map to guide their domestic robot (clean _this_ room). Data from iOT sensors can be viewed in a 3D map in their real location. Or someone in an AR headset can view yesterday’s surveillance footage in the same room where the footage took place. Android and iPhone users can share the same AR experience, and a remote viewer can observe and guide them from a birds-eye view, all from their phone’s web browser. My problem: I’m a software guy (former Apple ARKit/Vision Pro computer vision engineer) and I’m struggling to navigate the business side of things. I’m looking for a business-savvy cofounder to help find the market and then seek funding. If it sounds interesting, reach out and I’ll share a demo!
