PANews reported on November 6th that YZi Labs has announced an investment in Funes, a digital heritage platform dedicated to building the world's largest open archive of 3D architectural models. This aligns with YZi Labs' investment philosophy of supporting AI, culture, and real-world data infrastructure. Funes aims to preserve the real world in three dimensions using crowdsourced photogrammetry and computer vision technologies, recording, sharing, and reimagining various human-made structures—from temples and towers to homes and ruins—before they disappear into the annals of history. The newly raised funds will support Funes’ three key areas: modeling to capture comprehensive 3D data on historical and modern architecture worldwide; online experiences to create a seamless interactive platform for users to explore models and metadata; and AI integration to combine real-world data with technologies such as 3DGS, RF, and Large Language Models (LLM) for generating, researching, and educating scenarios.PANews reported on November 6th that YZi Labs has announced an investment in Funes, a digital heritage platform dedicated to building the world's largest open archive of 3D architectural models.
