Luma AI brings photorealistic 3D capture and AI video generation to creators, developers, and businesses through accessible, browser-based tools.
## Luma AI Products
### 3D Capture (NeRF) - Capture real-world objects and scenes in photorealistic 3D - Uses Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) technology - Works from photos or video taken on any smartphone - Export for web, games, AR/VR, and e-commerce
### Dream Machine - AI video generation from text prompts and images - High-quality, cinematic video output - Fast generation times (120 frames in ~2 minutes) - Camera control and motion guidance
## 3D Capture Workflow
- Capture: Walk around an object or scene recording video on your phone
- Upload: Send the video to Luma AI for processing
- Process: AI reconstructs the 3D scene using NeRF
- View: Explore the 3D capture from any angle in your browser
- Export: Download as GLB, OBJ, or embed on websites
## Capture Best Practices
### For Objects - Walk in a complete circle around the object - Capture from multiple heights (eye level, above, below) - Maintain steady, slow movement - Ensure consistent lighting throughout - Include 50-100 frames for best quality
### For Scenes - Walk through the space methodically - Cover all areas you want captured - Avoid reflective surfaces and transparent materials - Keep consistent exposure (avoid auto-exposure changes)
## NeRF Technology Explained
Neural Radiance Fields represent 3D scenes as continuous volumetric functions: - The AI learns the color and density at every point in 3D space - Novel viewpoints are rendered by casting rays through the learned volume - Results are photorealistic, capturing reflections, transparency, and fine detail - Far superior to traditional photogrammetry for most scenes
