VIDEO: Reality Capture & Local AI Inference: Turning Massive Data into Usable Models

Written by Cadalyst Staff | Feb 26, 2026 2:25:57 PM

As point clouds reach billions of data points and image sets grow into terabytes, the bottleneck isn’t capture — it’s processing. In this Cadalyst SmartCast, we explore how AI-driven reality capture is transforming massive datasets into usable, decision-ready models — and why local GPU performance is now mission-critical.

 

In this episode:

    • Why reality capture is fundamentally an AI workload
    • How local inference reduces rework and speeds validation
    • What radiance fields and Gaussian splatting mean for AEC workflows
    • Why workstation-class GPUs change what’s possible on-site

Reality capture is moving beyond passive documentation. With GPU-accelerated AI running locally, engineers can segment point clouds, validate scans, generate meshes, and build photoreal 3D environments — without waiting.

Featuring insights on Dell Pro Max and Precision workstations powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs.
