I like to travel the world and create new things.
Computer Vision, VR/AR, App development, anything needed to make the project work.

I'm really excited to share our #CVPR2025 paper *MVSAnywhere*. This is a robust, sharp, and highly generalisable depth estimation system.

This project was brilliantly led by @serizba: See his thread for all the beautiful videos, images and details 🧵👇

Scan -> viewing in VR in less than 5 minutes

It is pretty neat to have a Gaussian Splatting capturing platform (@Scaniverse) + cloud storage + VR viewer (Into the Scaniverse) under one @Niantic account

[Matthias Niessner @MattNiessner]

NeRF and 3DGS reconstructions always look amazing in research papers but getting good results with existing 3D scanning apps is tricky.

Why? Papers tend to show NVS results on test camera trajectories that are quite close to train views.

Thanks @LukasHollein for the data :)

[Daniel Knoblauch @DanielKnoblauch]

Worth a read. As always very insightful.

I just published ‘Cinematic’ Reality

It’s what I’ve been working on the last year or so

Exciting News!

I’m working on a new startup called dejavu @djv_ai , https://t.co/sZolu00KNu

We’re making Apple Vision Pro environments so real, you’ll feel like they’re glitches in the matrix

We’re part of the @a16zgames speedrun accelerator & it’s amazing so far

[Daniel Knoblauch @DanielKnoblauch]

@mattmiesnieks @djv_ai @a16zGames Good luck! Must be exciting!

Now compatible with ARFoundation, enabling Lightship in your existing project will instantly add meshing support for non-lidar devices (Android/iOS), extend your meshing range to over 20 meters, and give your developers access to in-editor development & testing with playback. All without any code changes.
