Christoph Lassner
World LabsCo-founder
Lassner created Pulsar, a tool that helps AI learn 3D scenes from images by efficiently rendering millions of tiny spheres.[1] He also developed Amazon Halo’s body-pose estimation system and co-authored Neural Assets, which turns smartphone video into realistic 3D objects for interactive environments.[2]
