Title of Talk: Building a 3D Foundation for Spatial AI
Abstract: I will discuss our work on developing a 3D foundation for Spatial AI, which I see as a prerequisite for understanding, acting, and creating in the physical world. I will show that general-purpose transformers, such as VGGT, excel at 3D reconstruction and can be extended to new-view synthesis. I will also explain how Dynamic Point Maps make it easy to further generalise these models to 4D reconstruction. Next, I will demonstrate that the performance of these models is far from saturated, with significant gains achieved by increasing the training data fifteen-fold in the new VGGT-Ω. I will argue that, as 3D transformers mature, they provide a credible basis for integration into multimodal systems, including Vision–Language–Action models. Finally, beyond analysis, I will showcase recent progress in 3D generation, including fully articulated and simulation-ready 3D objects.
