In a short timeframe, Covision Media has forged partnerships with global brands—like Meta, Adidas, ZARA, and Gucci—and made it abundantly clear that 3D content creation can be both scalable and photorealistic.

In this article, we’ll explore how Covision Media evolved from a spin-off project in Italy to a world-leading 3D scanning enterprise. We’ll dive into the technology behind its “D-Twin” scanners, look at various real-world use cases, examine the recent funding round that’s propelling the company’s global ambitions, and provide a glimpse into the future of 3D scanning for e-commerce, AR/VR, and gaming. By the end, you’ll understand why Covision Media is a name to watch in the race to digitize the physical world—and how this AI-powered approach will change the way we experience everything from online shopping to virtual workplaces.

Covision Media’s Background: From Spin-Off to 3D Scanning Leader

Bridging Research and Industry Collaboration

Covision Media was founded in 2020 but traces its roots back further, to Covision Lab in South Tyrol — an open-innovation hub known for its pioneering work in computer vision. Backed by European industrial powerhouses such as Durst, Covision Lab provided a fertile environment where innovative AI concepts could be tested, refined, and eventually commercialized. It was here that two key players, Franz Tschimben and Dr. Burkhard Güssefeld, recognized the untapped potential for AI-powered 3D scanning in various industries.

  • Founder Profiles:
    • Franz Tschimben (CEO) came from Covision Lab itself, bringing with him a deep understanding of AI’s practical applications in commercial settings.
    • Dr. Burkhard Güssefeld (CTO) is a respected authority in computer graphics and vision, specializing in the algorithms needed to capture and reconstruct photorealistic 3D data.

In February 2024, Covision Media officially spun off from Covision Lab, transitioning from an R&D-driven project to a commercial entity laser-focused on large-scale 3D scanning. The move also came with a new headquarters in Bressanone, Italy, which signaled their growth ambitions beyond research. The mission was clear and succinct: “Automate production of ‘reality-grade’ 3D models for retail, AR/VR, and beyond.”

This mission speaks directly to a growing market gap—traditional 3D scanning was either too slow, too manual, or lacking in fidelity for enterprise-scale demands. As CEO Franz Tschimben succinctly puts it, “The world is three-dimensional, and Covision Media is playing a key role in digitizing it.”

Inside Covision’s Technology: AI-Driven Photorealistic 3D Scans

How ‘D-Twin’ Scanners are Changing the Game

Central to Covision Media’s approach is its proprietary “D-Twin” scanning system. These 3D scanning rigs combine structured light, robotics, and AI algorithms to generate photorealistic, relightable digital models at scale. The D-Twin scanner doesn’t just capture geometry; it also captures surface details, textures, and reflective properties, enabling an exceptionally rich and lifelike digital twin.

  1. Structured Light & Robotics: The scanner uses multiple cameras and structured light patterns to quickly map the geometry of an object with an accuracy of around 0.2 mm. Robotics help rotate or reposition the item to ensure comprehensive coverage from all angles.
  2. AI-Based Photometric Scanning: Where Covision Media truly shines is in neural radiance fields and advanced photometric techniques. Reflective or transparent surfaces—like glossy sneakers, handbags with metallic finishes, and even glass items—can be problematic for traditional 3D scanning. However, Covision’s neural radiance field approach excels in capturing these complexities.
  3. Relightable 3D Models: The system applies Physically Based Rendering (PBR) textures, making every digital twin “relightable” in different virtual environments. This ensures that a 3D model placed in a dark store interior vs. a bright outdoor scene will look convincingly real, with shadows and highlights accurately rendered.
  4. Automation & Throughput: A typical D-Twin scanner completes a single scan in about 12 minutes, yielding anywhere from 4K to 8K textures. Covision Media reports each scanner can produce up to 12,000 high-fidelity models per year—an order of magnitude greater than many of its competitors.
  5. D-Twin II Enhancements: Recently introduced features allow for scanning deformable objects like apparel. By rotating around soft goods—such as shoes, bags, and clothing—and using AI to remove support fixtures, D-Twin II can capture lifelike models without the static stiffness often associated with scanning fabric.

What sets Covision Media apart is the minimal manual post-processing involved. The combination of structured light, AI-driven reconstruction, and robotics ensures a mostly hands-off approach once the item is placed in the scanner. This is essential for large-scale digitization tasks, where efficiency and speed can make or break a project’s feasibility.

Key Use Cases: Retail, AR/VR, Gaming, and Beyond

Fashion & E-Commerce

The fashion industry has been one of the earliest adopters of AI-powered 3D scanning. Adidas, ZARA (Inditex), Gucci, and Salomon are among the big names that have integrated Covision’s D-Twin technology into their workflows.

  • 360° Product Viewers: Instead of relying on static, two-dimensional photos, retailers can embed interactive 3D viewers on product pages. Shoppers can rotate items to inspect details like stitching, color variations, and texture from all angles.
  • Virtual Try-Ons: AR apps can overlay 3D footwear or accessories onto a live feed of the user, narrowing the gap between online browsing and in-store experiences.
  • Automated Marketing Assets: The same 3D model captured by Covision’s scanner can generate unlimited photo angles, short videos, or even AR filters—all without additional photoshoots.

Not only do these innovations boost customer engagement, they also cut down on product returns because shoppers gain a more accurate sense of how an item looks and fits.

Content Creation Studios

Large-scale content creation providers, including Quad Graphics, NUREG, and CLX Europe, see 3D scanning as a new frontier:

  • 3D as a Visual Asset Class: Historically, studios have offered photography and videography services. Now, they can also produce hyper-realistic 3D assets for their clients, opening up a new revenue stream.
  • Client Appeal: Brands that already invest heavily in photo shoots see additional value in obtaining “scannable” items for marketing collateral. With relightable 3D, images and videos can be rendered on demand, at any angle or setting.

Meta & the ‘Digital Twin Catalog’

Perhaps one of the most intriguing use cases is Meta (formerly Facebook) leveraging Covision’s scanning tech to develop a massive 3D “Digital Twin Catalog.” The idea is to build an expansive database of high-quality, 3D-scanned objects—everything from electronics to furniture to apparel. This not only lays the groundwork for immersive metaverse environments but also addresses the data gap in 3D machine learning.

  • AI Model Training: High-quality, standardized 3D data is crucial for training AI to recognize objects in virtual scenes or manipulate them realistically.
  • Future-Proofing: As AR/VR devices and technologies proliferate, having an extensive library of pre-scanned objects means a head start in populating these virtual worlds.

Gaming

The gaming sector is equally enthusiastic about AI-powered 3D scanning. Traditionally, game developers had to rely on time-intensive 3D modeling from scratch or photogrammetry. With Covision’s system:

  • Efficient Asset Creation: Physical props can be scanned, resulting in ultra-realistic, game-ready models in a fraction of the time.
  • Artistic Focus: Artists can devote more effort to creative tweaks rather than repetitive modeling tasks.

Industrial Applications

Beyond consumer-facing use cases, Covision Media caters to industrial needs as well. Manufacturers can scan product inventories—ranging from mechanical parts to large machine components—to create interactive 3D catalogs or digital archives. This is invaluable for:

  • Training & Maintenance: A 3D model that accurately captures material textures helps technicians and engineers visualize and simulate processes without handling the real part.
  • Sales & Marketing: Detailed 3D representations can be used for interactive product demos, reducing the need to ship physical samples to every trade show or client meeting.

Riding the 3D Wave: Why High-Fidelity 3D Content Matters

E-Commerce Enhancement & AR/VR Revolution

3D content creation has reached a pivotal juncture. Thanks to new AR/VR hardware like Apple’s Vision Pro and Meta’s continued metaverse focus, demand for realistic digital twins is poised to explode.

  1. Interactive Shopping Experiences: Online retailers across various sectors—from apparel to furniture—report higher conversion rates and lower return rates when they integrate 360° viewers or AR try-on features. Interactive 3D lets shoppers virtually “handle” products, bridging the sensory gap of online shopping.
  2. AI + 3D Synergy: The more 3D data we have, the better AI systems become at rendering or manipulating 3D objects. This synergy feeds into itself; as AI matures, 3D scanning workflows become even more efficient, and the models themselves can be dynamically updated or repurposed.
  3. Mass-Production Feasibility: Covision Media’s approach makes 3D scaling a reality. Instead of painstakingly capturing a handful of hero products, retailers can scan entire seasonal collections. The cost and labor savings are significant compared to older, manual 3D modeling processes.
  4. Relightable Scans: A single high-quality 3D model can be “relit” or re-rendered to generate multiple 2D and video assets, or used in interactive AR campaigns. This content efficiency saves time and money while enabling consistent brand imagery across platforms.
  5. The Metaverse & Spatial Computing: As we move from 2D screens toward immersive environments, the need for robust digital twins is paramount. Whether in VR commerce, digital showrooms, or elaborate virtual gatherings, the better the 3D models, the more seamless and persuasive the user experience.

Ultimately, 3D content isn’t just an add-on—it’s becoming an integral part of digital transformation strategies worldwide. Covision’s role in automating the creation of “reality-grade” models makes it a key enabler in this shift.
