DreamVu releases Liberty3D, a corpus of real-world scenes captured in 16K 360° with metric depth, for teams training world models

Every scene is a real place, delivered as 16K color, metric depth at every pixel, and dense point clouds — the color and geometry of the same instant, from the same optics, across the entire 360° view.

PHILADELPHIA — September 15, 2026 — DreamVu today released Liberty3D, a sample corpus of landmarks across Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Washington, DC, captured with the Alia360 3D 16K camera and delivered as 16K color, metric depth at every pixel, and dense point clouds. Every scene was captured in a single shot from a single camera position. Selected scenes are available to explore on the Output page.

World models learn the structure of the physical world from what they are shown. Most of what they are shown today is video without geometry, or geometry reconstructed after the fact. Liberty3D is built to give these models something different: the color and the metric depth of the same instant, from the same optics, at a resolution high enough to see the geometry of a real place directly.

Observations, not reconstructions

Teams today get real-world 3D data in two ways. Consumer 360° cameras record high-quality color, but no measured depth. Handheld scanners combine LiDAR, multiple cameras, and SLAM over a walk-through to produce a Gaussian splat or mesh of a space — a reconstruction, not an observation of the world.

A world model trains on observations. It needs the raw pairing of appearance and geometry as the world presented it, frame by frame, so it can learn how the two relate. Liberty3D provides that pairing at 16K resolution, across the entire 360° view, with depth that was measured at capture rather than inferred later.

How it is captured

Alia360 3D 16K is a single camera that captures 360° in stereo in one shot. Depth is measured, not predicted, and it is aligned to the color image because both come from the same optics. The optical design is patented, with grants in multiple countries. The single-camera panoramic stereo method behind it was published at CVPR. DreamVu's processing pipeline converts each capture into color, depth, and point cloud outputs without manual intervention.

"Everyone in this field is being offered data. What they are not being offered is real-world geometry captured at the same instant as the color, at a resolution where you can see the difference. We built the camera, we built the pipeline, and Liberty3D is what comes out of it. Open any scene in 3D and judge it yourself."
