We capture the physical world in 3D.

We built the camera, we publish the research, and we run the capture operation that supplies teams training robot and world models.

( 01 )The Capture System

An exocentric view with real 3D geometry.

Alia has multiple sensors in one housing, angled to cover the full sphere. Every sensor fires at the same instant and our software combines them into one 360° panorama with depth for every pixel. Rigs built from separate cameras have to be synchronized, and they drift. Below, both outputs from the same capture.

DRAG
Fig. 01.1 — 360° RGB, single shot
DRAG
Fig. 01.2 — Metric depth, every pixel

The same instant, two ways. Color at 16K, metric depth at every pixel, across the full sphere.

Single-shot 360° stereo with depth
The whole sphere and its 3D geometry, from one camera position. The optical design was published at CVPR.
Patented optics
The optical design is patented, with grants in multiple countries.

What you can get, from one capture system.

What we capture depends on what your model needs to learn. The camera configuration and the annotation change; the venue access, the operation, and the quality standard do not.

OutputCaptureFor
World model dataAlia 16K. A 360° stereo panorama with depth for every pixel.Training generative video and world models
Robot training dataVLM, navigation, and loco-manipulation datasets. Alia exo, with ego and wrist cameras as the dataset needs.Training VLA and VLM models
Simulation environmentsWhole venues reconstructed from Alia capture, in USD with physics. In development.Training robots in simulation

We use the Alia configuration the output calls for. The exocentric stream is Alia. Ego and wrist cameras are set per program. Navigation datasets are ego captures and need no Alia at all.

( 03 )The DreamVu Pipeline

We customize the pipeline for every data challenge.

Each stage uses the best method available — open source where open source is better, our own where it is not. We publish in this field, so we track what changes, and we swap components when something better comes out. You tell us what your model needs to learn, and we build the pipeline for it.

Stage 01

Capture

Alia captures the exocentric stream. Ego and wrist cameras are set by what the dataset needs.

Stage 02

Annotate

AI does the first pass. A person reviews every batch, at production volume.

Stage 03

Deliver

World model data, robot training data, or simulation environments, in the format your training stack uses.

Applied research — how we decide what each stage does

of venues in our capture network

Getting a capture team into a working pharmacy, an auto plant, or a hospital ward takes agreements, training, and compliance approvals. We have already done that.

We publish what we learn.

We test our capture and annotation methods on public models and publish the results. Four papers so far, alongside our granted patents and the earlier computer vision work our team brought to the company.

( 06 )Frequently Asked

Common questions.

What does DreamVu do?
We capture the physical world in 3D, and deliver it as world model data, robot training data, and simulation environments for robot foundation models and world models. We design the capture, run it, annotate it, and deliver it in the format you train on.
Who is this for?
Teams training robot foundation models, vision-language-action models, vision-language models, and world models.
What can I buy?
Either. We license from datasets we already hold, and we run capture programs for what does not exist yet. Tell us what your model needs to learn and which environments it needs to learn from, and we will tell you which applies.
How is your data different?
Our camera, Alia, records the whole scene as a single-shot 360° stereo panorama with depth. The optical design is patented. We synchronize it with a head-mounted camera, so you get the worker’s point of view and the full 3D room around them. Conventional setups give you flat video from one fixed angle.
Do you sell cameras?
No. The camera is the IP — patented optics, design published at CVPR. We do not sell it. We sell what only it can produce.
