Reality capture let Netflix's Monster scout 35 Italian locations in four days with PortalCam, then plan shots remotely through virtual scouting of 3DGS scans.

A one-hour Lixel K1 scan of six Culver City blocks gave a generative film pipeline the fixed geometry it needed to keep six locations consistent.

Handheld 3D capture brings real museum spaces to LED volumes, replacing green screens and photogrammetry for fast, cinematic virtual camera moves.

Global Objects is redefining how productions are planned and executed using Gaussian Splat-based digital twins. By integrating XGRIDS' Lixel series handheld SLAM scanners, they enable filmmakers to scan locations in under 30 minutes, achieving 1.2 cm accuracy for precise set measurements.

SBS launches Korea's first AIXR Studio built on 3D Gaussian Splatting, using the XGRIDS LCC format to turn captured locations into live XR broadcast sets.

When Compositing Academy's founder Alex Henneman decided to film a CGI dragon in a remote Icelandic cave, the project required a complete rethinking of virtual production workflows. Using an iPhone, Sony FX3, and cutting-edge spatial capture technology from XGRIDS, the team achieved cinematic-quality VFX in an uncontrolled environment while facing multiple logistical challenges including conflicting film shoots and delayed schedules due to equipment failures.

Veteran cinematographer Roberto Schaefer's adoption of XGRIDS' 3D Gaussian Splatting technology demonstrates how established professionals can leverage emerging tools to solve persistent industry challenges. Through cultural documentation and international film location scouting, Schaefer validated practical applications that extend beyond typical virtual production use cases.
