Luma Dream Machine

Luma Labs (Lumalabs.ai) offers AI-powered tools for capturing and generating 3D content from the real world.

Luma’s technology is best known for its use of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) – a method that can take a series of photos or a short video of a real-world object or scene and turn them into a photorealistic 3D model that you can view from different angles. With the Luma app, users can scan an object (like a sculpture, a car, or even a room) just by filming it on their smartphone; Luma’s AI will then process the footage in the cloud and produce a 3D representation with impressive detail.

These 3D models can be used for virtual reality, game development, product showcases, or visual effects – anywhere you need a digital twin of a real item. Luma Labs also provides a web viewer to easily share and embed these 3D captures. Recently, they’ve explored text-to-3D or AI scene generation, but their core offering is making advanced 3D capture accessible without expensive equipment. In short, Lumalabs.ai is revolutionizing how we create 3D content, using AI to transform casual smartphone footage into high-quality, immersive 3D models that were once very hard to produce.
