AR at ECCV 2024: final week for workshop submissions and 25 days left to enter the competition! Don't miss this if you care about modern Augmented Reality. Niantic, Inc. and NAVER Corp are co-sponsoring $6000 in prizes. All info is here: nianticlabs.github.io/map-free-works…

🚨ECCV 2024 Paper Alert 🚨 ➡️Paper Title: HandDGP: Camera-Space Hand Mesh Prediction with Differentiable Global Positioning 🌟Few pointers from the paper 🎯Predicting camera-space hand meshes from single RGB images is crucial for enabling realistic hand interactions in 3D

We released the code for our ECCV 2024 paper, DoubleTake! github.com/nianticlabs/do…

Ahead of #ECCV2024, we held the #MapFreeReloc challenge. The winner is ... 🥁 🥇MASt3R. Congrats to Vincent Leroy, Yohann, Jerome Revaud for first place! No-one was able to beat MASt3R throughout the challenge duration. Nevertheless, we had amazing further submissions! 👇🧵

The #MapFreeReloc workshop next Monday at #ECCV2024 has such an incredible lineup of speakers... Jakob (Jakob Engel), Vincent (Vincent Leroy), Simon (Simon Lynen), Torsten (Torsten Sattler), Shubham (Shubham Tulsiani) and Victor (Victor Prisacariu)! Schedule: nianticlabs.github.io/map-free-works…

#MapFreeReloc workshop in progress. The room is relatively small but maybe you can still fit in to hear Jakob Engel tell you about spatial AI. #ECCV2024

Dr. Jakob Engel from Meta presenting at Map-free Visual Relocalization workshop at #ECCV2024

Now I found the MapFree workshop, but it is packed. Joining by zoom #ECCV2024

Since many people were kicked out of the room, we now provide the Zoom link on the #MapFreeReloc workshop website. #ECCV2024

We have released the code and model weights on github.com/nianticlabs/Ha… #ECCV2024

We'll be at poster 105 this afternoon! In the meantime, you can try an interactive DEMO of a lightweight mobile version of HandDGP directly on ANY device with a browser! nianticresearch.8thwall.app/handdgp-ar/ #ECCV2024

Please consider applying for CV/ML/HCI Research internship with Niantic. This is a "paper publishing" internship for PhD students.

Niantic is looking for research interns for next summer in London. Interested in the next generation of reconstruction, mapping and visual relocalization? Apply! (And send me a DM for good measure). Let's explore what the bitter-sweet lesson can do for 3D vision. Link below.

We’re excited to unveil CoCreatAR, a groundbreaking system that connects remote developers with real-world locations in real time. By enabling live collaboration with on-site partners through video, audio, and 3D scans (Gaussian splats), CoCreatAR ensures AR elements fit

Splats are great, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could transform them into the stuff of dreams? Introducing our #CVPR2025 paper ✨Morpheus✨! Morpheus lets you change the shape and appearance of 3D Gaussian splats with a few words! nianticlabs.github.io/morpheus/ (1/6)

🔍Looking for a multi-view depth method that just works? We're excited to share MVSAnywhere, which we will present at #CVPR2025. MVSAnywhere produces sharp depths, generalizes and is robust to all kind of scenes, and it's scale agnostic. More info: nianticlabs.github.io/mvsanywhere/

RL is not all you need, nor attention nor Bayesianism nor free energy minimisation, nor an age of first person experience. Such statements are propaganda. You need thousands of people working hard on data pipelines, scaling infrastructure, HPC, apps with feedback to drive

🎉PlaceIt3D has been accepted to #ICCV2025. New task: placing 3D objects in real scenes given text prompts. We present: 📊 A benchmark and a large-scale dataset 🪄 PlaceWizard, our 3D LLM-based model Project webpage: nianticlabs.github.io/placeit3d/ Thanks to my amazing co-authors!
