Silicon Valley, California – February 12, 2026 – Q3D Sensing Inc., a Silicon Valley based technology company, announced its groundbreaking, pocket-sized 3D reality capture device, AuraGO™; designed to bring long-range professional-grade performance to smartphones and tablets.

Q3D Sensing™ is launching the Q3D Scan app in partnership with DotProduct LLC, an industry veteran, known for its intuitive and high performance 3D reality capture software Dot3D. AuraGO™ fully integrates with Dot3D’s ecosystem.

“The industry has long sought a scalable solution that combines powerful spatial AI capabilities with ease of use,” said Dr. Tianyue Yu, Founder and CEO of Q3D Sensing™. “We are not just entering a market; we are creating a new category. AuraGO™ was designed from the ground up to solve customer needs at the right price, size, weight, power and performance, enabling differentiated solutions. We’re expanding 3D technologies deeper into architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), public safety, gaming and robotics. Our partnership with Dot3D is key to achieving this common goal. Following an extensive evaluation, Dot3D was the clear choice based on their technical expertise, robust software performance, and partner ecosystem.”

“Dot3D has always been about making powerful 3D scanning accessible, and Q3D Sensing’s new AuraGO™ device aligns perfectly with that mission,” said Brian Ahern, CEO of DotProduct LLC. “Our community has been asking for a long-range solution that maintains the ease of use they expect from Dot3D. Q3D Sensing is delivering exactly that, and we are thrilled to welcome their innovation into our integrated ecosystem.”

Key Features of the Q3D Sensing AuraGO™:

  • Smartphone Integration: Attaches directly to mobile phone or tablet, transforming it into a high-precision 3D reality capture powerhouse.
  • Portability: Ultra-compact design for easy transport and use in both outdoor and indoor operations.
  • Low-Power: Powered by your smartphone or tablet.
  • Performance: Delivers centimeter level accuracy and precision.
  • Long-Range: 100X area coverage compared to other mobile phone options.
  • Ease of Use: Use the Q3D Scan app to capture, process and export into standard industry formats.

The four stages of 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction, visualised as a single progression. A sparse point cloud provides the initial spatial skeleton (left); large overlapping Gaussian primitives are seeded from those points and begin to occupy volume (second); the optimiser densifies and refines those primitives, packing them tighter as the form converges (third); finally, alpha-compositing from the correct viewpoint produces a photorealistic render with no visible primitives remaining (right). The primitives never disappear, they simply become coherent. This is not a surface mesh, not a voxel grid, not a neural network at render time. It is millions of learned ellipsoids, each carrying position, shape, rotation, colour and opacity, composited in depth order at real-time frame rates. Image: Mike Devers / Cr8ive Media
