# Luma AI

> Generative video, image, and 3D multimodal creation platform

Luma AI began as a platform for turning regular videos into interactive 3D NeRF scenes and Gaussian splats. It has since expanded into a full generative media studio offering cinematic AI video generation powered by its Ray and Uni models. Creative teams use it to direct video scenes, build brand assets, and capture physical spaces.

## Why it was saved

- [@setupsai, 15 May 2024](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6_PUU9ylT3/): Allows anyone to turn standard video captures into photorealistic, interactive 3D environments without specialized 3D capture equipment.
- [@kiselevatut, 27 September 2023](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxsjPzutung/): Creates photorealistic 3D camera fly-throughs, scans, and AI-driven video camera movements from standard footage.
