Loci, an innovative applied research company founded in 2021 by AI scientists from top institutions such as Cambridge, Imperial, MIT, Oxford, and Meta, is now part of Epic Games. This United Kingdom-based company is a trailblazer in the realm of machine learning models designed for 3D digital assets.
In a world where 3D designs underpin myriad aspects of modern life—from the smartphones we use to monumental skyscrapers—Loci addresses the complexity of managing billions of 3D assets. Their technology automates tasks such as tagging, captioning, categorizing, and detecting art styles, which simplifies the process of searching, managing, and utilizing 3D data. This capability is increasingly vital for industries that rely on digital 3D mapping, like AR and self-driving car technologies.
With no publicly known investment rounds, Loci seeks to revolutionize the industry by pursuing the creation of the first 3D-large language models, allowing machines the ability to process text, image, and 3D inputs with advanced visual and spatial intelligence.
