Loci was an applied research company that built AI
to recognize and label 3D content.

Our mission was to help people create the worlds of tomorrow by making 3D effortless to understand and use.

This matters because most things humans make, such as cars, phones, and cities, start as 3D designs. The biggest movies and games are built on 3D characters and worlds. And the technologies shaping our future, like AR and autonomous vehicles, rely on 3D mapping. The world runs on billions of 3D files.

Loci’s proprietary machine learning models made them easy to search, manage, and use. We auto-generated tags, captions, texture counts, renders, and more. Put simply: Loci organized the third dimension.

We created and deployed the world's first 3D-LLMs: multimodal models that understood text, images, and 3D geometry. They now power 3D production pipelines throughout the world.

Along the way, we enriched tens of millions of assets and helped architects, game developers, 3D artists, hobbyists, and manufacturers solve real-world search and discovery problems. We partnered with leading Digital Asset Management and Content Management System platforms to bring our tools into creative workflows everywhere.

We were a team of research scientists and engineers from MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, Microsoft, Amazon, Twitter, and Meta, all focused on solving this one problem exceptionally well.

In 2025, Loci joined Epic Games to bring this work to life in one of the world's largest 3D ecosystems that includes Unreal Engine, Fab, and UGC-based games. We’re proud to join such a world-class team, and thrilled for what’s next.

With gratitude,
The Loci Team
