Just dropped: Rectified Point Flow

Can we automate 3D assembly from unposed point clouds without supervision?
Yes—we use a generative model that learns symmetry & part interchangeability entirely from shape

Enabling robotics, AR/VR, & reverse engineering

Meet 𝐑𝐞𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞, a text-driven 3D scene synthesis+editing method, powered by autoregressive LLMs and spatially grounded representations.

- Object addition = next-token prediction
- RLVR-tuned for fine control
- Voxel loss for geometric nuance

✨What if you could create and redesign scenes by just talking to them?

**ReSpace: Text-Driven 3D Scene Synthesis and Editing with Preference Alignment**

Add, remove, and swap objects simply via natural language, e.g., "add tufted dark gray sofa". (1/8)

🚨 SLAM struggling in dynamic environments? We've been there.

WildGS-SLAM at #CVPR2025, our new monocular RGB SLAM system, tackles dynamic scenes with uncertainty-aware tracking and mapping, resulting to more robust tracking, cleaner maps, and high-quality view synthesis. ⬇️
