Thinking of my friend Steve on his birthday — the lives he touched, the vision he shared, and the profound impact he had on our world. “We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why else even be here?”

Meet our inhouse tech Doggo "Rolo". Cinematic RGB Lighting "More Doggo than Doggo" Since July we've been redesigning our scanning pipeline to work with the amazing 3D Gaussian Splatting for Real-Time Radiance Field Rendering method from Inria. github.com/graphdeco-inria/g… IR's AeonX capture system has been designed to capture "Spatial" memories for the future. We've built on a custom version of Inria's Sibr viewer to handle the playback of our multiple processed 4D frames. GS has reignited our passion for 3D/4D scanning. Thank you to the team at @Inria More content to come. #guassiansplatting #ir #aeonx #4d #motionscanning #inria #ximea #idatronic #spatial #youth83
