Exploring Apple’s 3D Reconstruction Pipeline

In this intro video, Kevin presents Cenarius, a project focused on transforming real-world environments into detailed 3D digital spaces. The long-term vision behind Cenarius is to scan areas such as farmlands, construction sites, and open fields, and convert them into interactive, digitalized environments that can be explored and analyzed.

In this demo, Kevin presents a direct, side-by-side comparison of different applications and AI agents specialized in image analysis. He walks through how each agent approaches visual tasks, highlights their strengths and limitations, and shows where certain tools perform better depending on the use case.

In this week’s Lightbloom Lab demo, Kevin showcases a breakthrough in 3D environment reconstruction using Gaussian Splatting — a technique that makes high-quality 3D scans possible without expensive computing or specialized hardware.

Join us inside the Lightbloom Lab in Budapest as Kevin demonstrates how to use our newly assembled computer cluster, the shared infrastructure supporting all ongoing projects.
