Research for Impact
We are focused on doing and collaborating on deep research that drives positive change: better measurement, better physical-world reasoning, and better decisions for people and the planet.
Research agenda
Turn visual evidence into public, scientific, and operational value.
Outerview research sits at the intersection of visual AI, spatial reasoning, environmental systems, infrastructure, economics, and human impact. We care about research that becomes useful in the world, not just impressive in a slide.
Where we want to collaborate deeply.
Spatial Foundation Models
Develop models that reason over imagery, video, maps, time, and grounded physical context.
Environmental Intelligence
Measure visible signals tied to climate adaptation, waste, vegetation, water, hazards, and resilience.
Benchmark Science
Design fair, repeatable, and meaningful indices for comparing places and tracking change.
Applied Impact
Partner with institutions on research that changes budgets, policy, field work, or public outcomes.
Open Questions
Explore what can be measured from the physical world and where uncertainty should remain visible.
Collaborative Programs
Work with universities, nonprofits, consultants, public agencies, and mission-driven companies.
Collaborate on meaningful research.
Bring us the questions, regions, datasets, or real-world problems where better physical intelligence could create positive change.
