We are proud to announce our collaboration with Aston Martin F1 Team, 2x F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, and ElevenLabs to launch Ai.lonso - Fernando Alonso's lifelike AI avatar.

Segmentation tools are incredibly powerful, and Meta’s #SAM2 has done an impressive job pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. However, when it comes to the precision demanded by #VFX, general tools often fall short. See how ElectricSheep’s Spotlight holds its own against the industry standard, trading a bit of speed for the accuracy that VFX professionals need. Doug Griffin, Steve Sullivan, Michel Besner, Kari Wu
We compared our latest release SpotlightV2 to the latest segmentation model from #Meta in a test for #Rotoscoping. Hint: If you need speed use SAM2. If you need quality use SpotlightV2. Check out the results in a video, or just directly to the blog below! #Segmentation #VFX

We're excited to share some love for Looq AI, as highlighted by GeoWeek. Looq's #AI approach makes the complex task of surveying physical environments look effortless. We're proud to see their work getting the recognition it deserves! Dominique Meyer, PhD, Steve Sullivan, Babak Rasolzadeh, Michel Besner, Kari Wu, Doug Griffin, Shreyas N., Todd Hylton, Benjamin Levy, Denise Longley
A recent test drive changed my mind about close range photogrammetry (CRP) for field surveying. While CRP solutions for surveying may have been around, in various forms, for many years– there have been mixed results. A new approach from Looq though, appears to overcome many of the shortcomings of past solutions. #surveying #geomatics #photgrammetry #AI #Saas Looq AI Geo Week https://lnkd.in/gWJkK5NJ

We've always been amazed at how well Looq AI's automated cloud & AI platform can reproduce the physical world. They are revolutionizing the surveying world! Kari Wu 🔜 SIGGRAPH, Steve Sullivan, Michel Besner, Doug Griffin, Dominique Meyer, PhD #infrastructure #startup #computervision #ai
We were delighted to host Gavin Schrock, Consulting Editor and Land Surveyor, at our corporate headquarters to test drive the Looq Platform. It was a pleasure to showcase how our technology can help empower users to capture, analyze, and deliver high-quality digital twins. As Gavin noted, "The more I dig into this tech and look at the data from the test drive, I'm coming to the conclusion that this particular approach to terrestrial photogrammetry and AI feature recognition represents a significant shift. For many surveying applications, this may be the most efficient-effective approach (for topo etc.) I've seen in all my surveying-geek years. I'll be writing up my findings. Good work Looq AI!" #InfrastructureIntelligence #AssetIntelligence #AI #DigitalTwins #Rapid #Scalable #3DCapture #SurveyGrade #QualityData #Safety #Efficiency #CostSavings #Simplicity #Surveyors #EPCs #ElectricUtilities #UtilityManagement #LooqPlatform
