The Spatial AI Lab is part of the Applied Sciences Group, a Microsoft research and development organization dedicated to creating next-generation human-computer interaction technologies leveraging the most recent AI developments and exploring new hardware capabilities and device form-factors.  

Our team of scientists and engineers has strong expertise in computer vision and multi-modal AI, with a particular focus on spatial and embodied AI. We work on integrating AI capabilities in Microsoft products, ranging from new AI features in Windows applications, over core AI developments for the Windows platform, to exploring wearable form-factors and autonomous agents.   

Founded in 2018 in Zurich, our lab is led by Marc Pollefeys, Professor of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, and serves as a hub for a strategic partnership between Microsoft and ETH.
