The Data Infrastructure for Physical AI
The world's leading AI researchers are building world models and spatial intelligence. They need high-fidelity 3D training data from real environments. DreamVu's omnidirectional capture platform delivers it at scale.

Starts with Real-World Data
Spatial Intelligence Is the Next Frontier
Fei-Fei Li — the Stanford professor who created ImageNet and catalyzed the deep learning revolution — has made spatial intelligence the focus of her latest company, World Labs. Her thesis: AI must learn to perceive, reason about, and act in three-dimensional space. Not from text. Not from flat images. From spatially rich, real-world data.
"Spatial intelligence is the next major capability AI needs to develop. It's how humans and animals make sense of the world — and it's what's missing from today's AI systems."
Yann LeCun — Meta's Chief AI Scientist and Turing Award winner — has been equally direct. He argues that the path to truly intelligent machines runs through world models: internal representations of how the physical world works, learned from observation, not text.
"A system trained on text will never understand the physical world. You need world models — learned from video and sensory data — that can predict what happens next."
Both visions share a common prerequisite: massive amounts of high-fidelity, spatially aware, real-world 3D data. And that's exactly what doesn't exist today — at least, not at the scale or quality these models demand.
World Models Need Real Worlds
VLA (Vision-Language-Action) models can't learn physics, spatial relationships, or manipulation skills from 2D images and text. They need dense 3D captures of real environments with real people performing real tasks.
The Data Bottleneck Is Critical
Billions have been poured into model architectures — GR00T, RT-2, Octo, π₀ — but the training data barely exists. Open-source robotics datasets are small, narrow-FOV, and lack the 3D spatial richness these models require.
DreamVu Fills the Gap
Our dual-stream capture system — Alia 360° exocentric + GoPro egocentric — produces exactly the data that world models and spatial AI systems need. Synchronized omnidirectional capture with depth + RGB at scale.
The Perspective Problem
Humanoids need egocentric views (what they see) and exocentric views (how they appear to others). Traditional capture misses half the picture. DreamVu's synchronized dual-stream capture — Alia 360° exocentric + GoPro egocentric — gives you both simultaneously.
The Multimodal Gap
Physical AI models need vision + language + action data together. Most datasets provide vision only — leaving teams to stitch together incomplete signals. DreamVu delivers all three, synchronized.
The Sim-to-Real Gap
Humanoids trained in simulation fail when deployed in real environments. DreamVu captures the real world in formats that translate directly into Isaac Sim and back — closing the sim-to-real loop.
