About Niantic Spatial
Niantic Spatial is a pioneer in geospatial AI. Our technology is based on a third-generation digital map that captures the content of the world at a level of fidelity never before achieved, enabling both people and machines to understand it in new exciting ways. This is part of the connective tissue that will enable AI to meaningfully understand and interact with the physical world.
Niantic Spatial Platform
The Niantic Spatial Platform is leading the way. It provides essential live services, including Niantic’s industry leading Visual Positioning System (VPS), relied on by tens of millions of users, advanced 3D visualization using Gaussian Splatting, and a suite of developer SDKs.
Our services are available as public APIs for global-scale applications and as private enterprise solutions for specific locations captured through the Scaniverse app and on-demand mapping services.
This versatility allows us to seamlessly integrate spatial intelligence across diverse applications, including Intelligent Warehousing and Logistics, Spatial Planning and Remote Collaboration, and Immersive Entertainment and Experiences. By leveraging precise localization, advanced computer vision, and real-time 3D visualization, we enhance efficiency, accuracy, and engagement across these domains.
Large Geospatial Model
Niantic Spatial is developing a Large Geospatial Model (LGM) built on a proprietary database of over 30 billion posed images, which will add spatial reasoning capabilities to Large Language Models through a spatially grounded and semantically rich understanding of physical environments.
We are setting a new benchmark for geospatial AI, delivering unparalleled contextual awareness and deeper comprehension of the real world.
Our Story
Niantic Spatial is from the team behind Pokémon GO and the Niantic AR platform, building on over 25 years of leadership in geospatial AI, mapping, and AR.
We’ve pioneered breakthroughs in Visual Positioning Systems (VPS), large-scale 3D mapping, and real-world AR experiences that have reached hundreds of millions of people.
