Former Qunhe Technology VP Launches Startup, Pioneering the 3DGS Camera Category

Former Qunhe Technology Executive Embarks on New Venture, Targeting the 3DGS Camera Market

A cutting-edge hard-tech company founded by a former Vice President of Qunhe Technology (parent company of Kujiale) recently announced the completion of a new funding round led by Frees Fund. The company has pioneered the "3DGS camera" as an entirely new product category, deeply integrating 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) technology with dedicated hardware, drawing widespread attention across the industry.

The funding will primarily be allocated to core technology R&D, first-generation product mass production, and the recruitment of top-tier global talent.

What Is a 3DGS Camera?

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is a frontier technology that has rapidly risen to prominence in computer vision and 3D reconstruction over the past two years. Compared to traditional NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) approaches, 3DGS uses Gaussian ellipsoids as the fundamental scene representation unit, achieving a qualitative leap in both rendering speed and reconstruction quality. It enables real-time, high-fidelity 3D scene rendering on consumer-grade hardware.

The newly launched "3DGS camera" encapsulates this cutting-edge algorithmic capability into a dedicated hardware device, allowing users to quickly generate high-quality 3D models through simple capture operations. This means the barrier to 3D content acquisition will be dramatically lowered, shifting from professional-grade workflows to mainstream applications.

A Founding Team with Deep Industry Roots

The founder hails from Qunhe Technology, whose flagship product Kujiale is a leading 3D cloud design platform in China with a massive user base and deep technical expertise in 3D across the home furnishing and real estate sectors. During their tenure as VP at Qunhe Technology, the founder was deeply involved in building core technology systems including 3D modeling and rendering engines, and developed a keen understanding of the pain points and market demands in 3D content production.

This new venture, entering the market through an integrated software-hardware 3DGS camera, represents both an extension of accumulated technical expertise and a forward-looking bet on the future paradigm of 3D content production.

Frees Fund Leads Investment, Bullish on Spatial Computing Infrastructure

Lead investor Frees Fund has long focused on frontier technology and hard-tech sectors. Its investment in the 3DGS camera project reflects the capital market's strong emphasis on the infrastructure layer of spatial computing. As spatial computing terminals such as Apple Vision Pro continue to hit the market, efficient and cost-effective 3D content capture tools are becoming a critical gap in the value chain that urgently needs to be filled.

If the 3DGS camera achieves mass production at scale, it could unlock tremendous value across multiple scenarios including e-commerce 3D product displays, digital twins, cultural heritage digitization, and XR content production.

Industry Outlook

Currently, the supply-side bottleneck for 3D content remains significant — traditional 3D modeling is expensive and time-consuming, making it a core pain point constraining the growth of the spatial computing ecosystem. The maturation of 3DGS technology offers new possibilities for solving this challenge, and productizing and hardwarizing it represents the critical step from the laboratory to the market.

As the first-generation product enters mass production and the global talent team is assembled, whether this startup can truly define the "3DGS camera" as a new product category and seize a first-mover advantage in the spatial computing wave is well worth watching.
