4Dlabs @4Dlabs_Official
Another embodied intelligent data company, operating through a web3 model. However, it's slightly different from the model of Axis Robotics @axisrobotics that we introduced earlier. Axis Robotics focuses primarily on simulation data and mobile app-based data collection. On the other hand, 4Dlabs operates in three main areas:
**Proprietary hardware system for data collection:**
A lightweight, head-mounted multimodal capture system for first-person real-world interaction data, along with specialized devices for multimodal hand motion and tactile pressure sensing.
**Target audience:** Scalable contributor networks and on-site data collection teams.
**Data collected:** RGB, IMU, and tactile glove data streams.
**Mobile 3D space scanning:** (via a mobile app, which hasn’t been released yet)
Anyone with a smartphone can upload scanned images and earn token rewards. A 3D house model can sell for over $10 on the market.
**Derivative applications:**
- Optimal camera positioning
- Sunlight simulation
- Renovation previews
- Convenient 3D data collection
**B2B data marketplace and applications:**
Licensing embodied datasets for specific tasks or commissioning our contributor network to conduct custom data collection activities.
**Team background:**
Public information is limited. The confirmed core founders are introduced in the official description of YZi Labs EASY Residency Season 2:
- **Bruce Bai (CEO):** PhD from Zhejiang University; serial entrepreneur who previously founded two startups in computer vision.
- **Ian Y. Xu (Co-founder):** Postdoctoral background.
The project is described as focusing on data collection, model development, and applications related to spatial intelligence large models. The team is still in the early incubation stage, and no complete team roster or large-scale R&D team details are available in public records.
**Funding status:**
The main disclosed backing comes from YZi Labs (formerly associated with Binance Labs, as noted in their profile: Backed by @yzilabs).
**Investment pathway:**
Secured funding through EASY Residency Season 2.
**Amount:** Specific figures for 4Dlabs have not been disclosed separately. The standard terms for this incubation program are up to $500,000 per selected team, typically structured as: $150,000 for approximately 5% equity (SAFE) + an additional $350,000 in uncapped SAFE. While it cannot be confirmed that 4Dlabs received the full $500,000, it is confirmed that they fall within the scope of this early-stage investment program.
**Other institutions:** No other lead/co-investors are listed in public news or official posts. The only visible investor at this stage is YZi Labs.
This project and direction are worth keeping an eye on.
