Echo is the world's first 3D Reconstruction AI model built entirely from the ground up and designed specifically to deliver broadcast-quality spatial media for sports, including soccer, baseball, tennis, basketball, combat sports and more. Trained exclusively on proprietary content captured internally, Echo's initial model contains over 5 million parameters. This breakthrough advances the volumetric video industry into its third generation, which we call Spatial Media, placing us clearly on the path toward achieving real-time broadcast-quality reconstruction in the near future.
Introducing Spatial Media
Echo moves the industry beyond incremental improvements of legacy 3D reconstruction technologies. Where previous generations relied heavily on traditional meshes, point clouds, and offline processing, Echo introduces the world’s first fully AI-native volumetric video solution, marking a fundamental shift toward truly scalable, immersive, and efficient Spatial Media. You can learn more about the generations of Spatial Media here.
Proprietary Training Data
Echo’s capabilities are built upon an exclusive internal dataset, featuring over 5 million parameters derived from more than 58,000 unique captures. We continue to actively refine and expand Echo, introducing additional training data and parameters to further enhance its performance and versatility.
Significant Camera Reduction
Echo is on track to substantially reduce the number of cameras required for broadcast-quality volumetric capture by as much as two-thirds. Fewer cameras mean less complexity, lower operational costs, and streamlined production. For example, a traditional soccer game might use up to 90 cameras to capture every aspect of the pitch. Echo will reduce that to just 30.
Introducing Our Echo Vanguard Initiative
We invite innovative companies, researchers, content creators, and sports-industry leaders to participate in our Echo Vanguard Initiative—an exclusive early-access program designed to test and demonstrate Echo’s capabilities using real-world volumetric data.
