2D Is Against My Religion with Michal Gula

Digital twin, reality capture, BIM, point clouds, 3D mesh, LiDAR, SLAM and Matterport all collide in this sharp debate with Kelly Watt. We break down what actually makes a digital twin useful: not the buzzword, but the data, context, decision support, workflow and ROI behind it. Kelly explains why a 3D model, point cloud or Matterport tour can be part of a digital twin ecosystem without automatica...

Agentic AI, OSINT, geospatial digital twins and 3D Gaussian splatting are changing how we map the world, build software and understand privacy. Bilawal Sidhu joins the show to break down his “God’s Eye” 4D globe, ADS-B flight tracking, AIS vessel data, GPS jamming, AI agents, surveillance risks, Neuralink, spatial computing and the future of building with AI. We go from vibe coding and Codex/Claud...

Zlata Karpushina, Go-To-Market Strategist from  @FJDynamics_Official  FJ Dynamics joins Michal to challenge the “one-button SLAM scanner” myth and explain why successful 3D scanning depends on workflow, training, software, algorithms, support, and expectation management — not only accuracy specs. Later, Mehdi Boroumand joins with real-world SLAM scanning use cases from Australia and beyond: drone...

Public speaking, business storytelling, networking, and technical presentation skills are no longer “soft skills” — they are survival skills for geospatial, reality capture, 3D, digital twin, and technology professionals. In this episode, Michal talks with Juraj Holub, international moderator and public speaking coach, about how technical experts can stop sounding boring, explain complex ideas cle...

I am speaking to Nikhil Sawlani, founder of MultisetAI.Instead of delivering only a static point cloud or 3D mesh, reality capture professionals can reuse already-scanned spaces to create live digital twin services: indoor positioning, 6DoF tracking, asset navigation, connected worker workflows, smart glasses guidance, no-code AR instructions and robot-ready spatial maps. We cover how Multiset AI...

Digital twins, 3D Gaussian splatting, OpenUSD, point clouds, 3D meshes, and reality capture are transforming how facilities, factories, surveyors, and asset managers work — but Barry Bassnett argues most “digital twins” fail because they solve the wrong problem. In this episode, Barry explains why a point cloud or 3D mesh is usually not a digital twin, why “visual twins” still matter, and how digi...

In this episode, we go deep into the commercial drone industry: DJI vs. U.S. drone manufacturers, Skydio and lobbying, FCC authorization, drone data accuracy, stockpile measurements, construction mapping, LiDAR workflows, autonomous drone flight, AI-assisted outputs, 3D Gaussian splatting, RealityScan workflows, and how beginners can enter the drone mapping market with simple tools. Dylan explains...

With Olli Huttunen 3D Gaussian Splatting workflow, 360 camera capture, Postshot processing, Blender tooling, PlayCanvas publishing, and synthetic Gaussian splats — this episode with Olli Huttunen breaks down what actually works in production. Olli explains 3DGS in plain language, shows why capture quality still matters, shares his Magic Wand multi-camera rig, and walks through his 360 Extractor pl...

This episode breaks down whether surveying is a dying profession or evolving into a high-demand, tech-driven industry. Rami Tamimi and Michal Gula explore the future of surveying, geomatics vs land surveying, AI automation, drones, LiDAR, and reality capture workflows. They unpack why the average surveyor is aging out, how junior roles are disappearing, and why new skills—not new tools—are the rea...

With Filip Fejdi from WOOW studio. Digital twins for real estate, off-plan property sales, and 3D interactive visualization are transforming how developers sell projects before construction. In this episode, we break down how proptech platforms like WOOW Studio enable developers to sell apartments faster using virtual tours, real-time CRM integration, and e-commerce-style customization. We cover h...

I spoke with Povilas Sindriunas a Business Develoepr from  @UNDETPointCloudSoftware  to dissect one of the biggest hidden problems in the reality-capture industry. Everyone is obsessed with scanners, hardware, and field workflows. But the real bottleneck appears after the scan is finished. Point clouds are captured faster than ever thanks to SLAM scanners, mobile mapping, and cheaper hardware. Yet...

In this episode, we go deep with Arash Keissami into how NIRA.app is redefining the way large-scale 3D datasets are viewed, shared, and secured online. If you work with photogrammetry, laser scanning, BIM, point clouds, textured meshes, or 3D Gaussian splatting, this conversation is directly relevant to your workflow. Arash breaks down:👉Why traditional WebGL-based viewers struggle with large data...

With Alex Harvey a co-founder of RiVRWe break down the real state of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), 360 video, 3D180 capture, and Gaussian Splatting. This is not hype. This is field-tested XR.Alex shares how he moved from Codemasters (Formula 1 game trailers) into building immersive training systems for fire investigation, crime scenes, military use, and blue-light services. You wil...
