Akropora creates high-resolution spatial twins of large real-world sites using Gaussian splatting technology, enabling interactive 3D exploration directly in the browser. The platform also offers natural language search across spatial data and rapid AI classifier development, allowing experts to train custom detectors with minimal labeled data. Their technology works both above and below water, as demonstrated by a coral reef twin in Indonesia.

Problem
High-stakes decisions in engineering, environmental assessment, insurance, and related fields still depend on expensive, manual field surveys. These surveys are slow, labor-intensive, and prone to human error, and any new question requires another costly site visit to gather additional data.
Solution
Akropora produces high-quality Gaussian splats that create spatial twins of large real-world sites, making vast areas viewable directly in the browser. The platform supports natural language search, letting users query their spatial data in plain English. Additionally, Akropora enables rapid classifier development by allowing experts to label a small subset of data, which the model then uses to instantly update itself into a highly accurate detector. The technology works both above and below water, as demonstrated by a spatial twin of a restored coral reef in Indonesia.
Target Audience
Primary customers are professionals in engineering, environmental assessment, insurance, and related fields who need accurate, revisitable digital representations of physical sites for analysis and decision-making.
