Physical AI for shared spaces
The infrastructure is the decisive layer
Mobile phones reached their potential because cellular networks evolved alongside them. GPS navigation works because a global infrastructure of satellites operates overhead.

Grounding AI in Reality
The bottleneck of Physical AI is not models, it is real-world data
Collect
Until recently, continuously digitizing the movement of tens of thousands of entities simultaneously, in real time, with precise 3D location, shape, interactions, and behaviours, was beyond the reach of any company in the world.
That has changed. Outsight's Motional Digital Twins run in production across five continents, collecting data on millions of people, vehicles and robots every year.
Analyze
Collecting data from the physical world in motion is one breakthrough. Turning it into Spatial Intelligence is another.
The infrastructure, data models, and systems behind it have been validated in production, with end-to-end latencies as low as 50 ms in critical robotics applications certified to PLd functional safety.
Activate
This is what grounds AI in reality.
For Agentic AI, it feeds inference with the real-world context to act on what has happened, what is happening, and what comes next, rather than on assumptions.
For simulation and training, it supplies the ground truth that closes the loop between the virtual and the real.

Delivered by Motional Digital Twins
A Motional Digital Twin (MDT) is a real-time digital replica of a real-world space that delivers Spatial Intelligence by continuously tracking how every person and object moves and interacts within that environment.
This technology extends traditional Digital Twins beyond static buildings and assets by adding the critical dimension of movement digitisation, revealing unique insights about real-world interactions.
An MDT collects and processes real-time data from native 3D sensors, such as LiDAR, combined with supplementary sources from external sensors and systems*.
Comprehensive Situation Awareness
Adding movement to World Models
Buildings are not only defined by their walls, assets and layouts. They come alive through what happens inside them.
The next frontier of World Models is movement.
Infrastructure-based Physical AI unlocks a new understanding of the physical world: one where every space becomes self-aware, every movement carries meaning, and every operator gains the foresight to act before reality unfolds.

Six main drivers have converged
Why now
The need to precisely monitor and manage the physical flow of people, vehicles and objects as they move, and to provide robots with situational awareness, is not new.
However, extending World Models with the movement dimension, through a Motional Digital Twin, cannot be achieved with legacy technologies.
Today, a combination of technological advancements, market dynamics, and evolving societal expectations have converged to reshape what is possible, with two main pillars forming the foundation.
-
Native 3D Sensors
LiDAR sensors, the only technology capable of accurately perceiving in 3D over long distances, are now both mature and affordable.
-
Physical AI
Comprehensive Spatial Intelligence software platforms, leveraging 3D AI, such as Outsight's, are ready and proven at scale.
Additional drivers
-
Edge Computing
Processing massive 3D data in real time is now possible with next-generation edge hardware combined with cloud computing.
-
Web-based 3D
A 3D-native interface that perfectly complements Spatial insights can currently run seamlessly in web applications with a simple browser.
-
Privacy Concerns
Rising privacy concerns are fuelling public resistance to image-based and wireless surveillance, requiring respectful alternatives.
-
Global Adoption
Leading operators across the USA, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia are deploying Outsight solutions at scale, with many more exploring adoption.
In short
The physical world is the next layer of business to be digitized
AI has digitized our knowledge, our conversations and media, and the static shape of the world. Movement is what remains, and it is where operators are blindest. Capturing it takes a new discipline, Physical AI, built into the infrastructure itself, made possible by affordable native 3D sensors such as LiDAR, enriched with multiple data sources. The result is a Motional Digital Twin: a live replica where every space becomes self-aware, every movement carries meaning, and every operator gains complete Situation Awareness. The same Dynamic World Model that drives operational decisions becomes the foundation for Agentic AI, Robotics solutions and advanced Simulation. The physical world is no longer the blind spot of the digital age.
