About Niantic Spatial
Niantic Spatial, Inc. builds real-world foundation models for physical AI. Its three capabilities are Reconstruct, which produces geo-referenced 3D models (Gaussian splats and meshes) from phones, 360° cameras, drones, satellites and LiDAR; Localize, a Visual Positioning System for positioning and orientation, including where GPS is degraded; and Understand, a spatial AI interface that the site describes as still being built. Scaniverse is the consumer capture app.
Customers are described as robotics and autonomous-systems teams and enterprises in energy, construction, logistics, large venues, defense and the public sector. Scaniverse is offered on self-serve plans (Free, Plus at $20 per month, Pro at $50 per month) that include monthly credits and credit top-ups, and Enterprise plans with custom pricing, on-prem deployment and dedicated support.
The company describes itself as an independent AI company formed in 2025 and built on the founding team's earlier work on Keyhole, later acquired by Google, and on Niantic's games and Visual Positioning System. The site lists offices in San Francisco, Sunnyvale and Bellevue (US), London (UK) and Tokyo (Japan), and cites 30B+ posed images, 50M+ neural networks and 140+ patents filed or pending. Its 17 open roles cover computer vision, embodied AI and robot learning research, product engineering, solutions architecture, hardware operations in a real-world test lab, and go-to-market and legal functions.
Product: Reconstruct (3D digital twins), Localize (Visual Positioning System), Understand (spatial AI interface), plus the Scaniverse capture app and enterprise plans.
