A browser-based spatial viewer for exploring stadiums, surrounding places and the stories attached to them.
A practical operating system for applied spatial intelligence.
The lab is not presented as a generic AI catalogue. Every project is organised around a repeatable loop that connects spatial evidence, domain models, human interfaces and deployment constraints.
3DGS / BIM / GIS
Physical environments become queryable evidence.
Vision / LLM / agents
Models are selected around the work, not the other way around.
Human approval
Autonomous steps remain inspectable, reversible and accountable.
Cloud / edge / on-prem
Systems can run close to sensitive operational data.
Research Programmes - 005
Agentic Infrastructure
Reusable industry agent systems for construction, museums, engineering, infrastructure and public services.
Spatial Intelligence
Research into how AI understands Gaussian Splats, BIM, GIS, Digital Twins and the physical world.
Autonomous Workflows
Multi-step systems where drones, vision models, agents and human approval produce operational outputs.
Local Intelligence
Private, edge and on-premise AI for organisations that need control over sensitive knowledge and data.
Human + AI Interfaces
Voice, gesture, XR, digital twins and spatial interfaces for working with AI inside real environments.
Short records from experiments in motion.
Poster-first reels keep the archive fast. Full video loads only when a viewer asks for it.
An infrastructure command interface combining live mapping, site intelligence, operational context and AI-assisted decisions.
Testing how a headset-side assistant can interpret scene context and return short operational guidance.
A spatial agent searches captured site geometry for hazards, barriers and inspection targets.
Comparing local LLM responses against engineering notes without moving sensitive files into a shared cloud tenant.
Drone imagery flows through vision analysis, risk extraction, report drafting and human approval.
Working interfaces for spatial intelligence.
Selected prototypes and live products that show the lab direction in practice: spatial maps, digital twins, AI assistants and operational command layers.

3D Stadium Viewer
A photorealistic 3D stadium field guide that turns venues into explorable, story-led spatial products.
Problem
Flat venue maps and static photography struggle to communicate scale, access, atmosphere and location context.
Prototype
A live browser-based stadium viewer with photoreal 3D, guided orbit interactions, venue facts and curated story layers.
What we learned
People understand a venue faster when navigation, facts and stories sit directly inside the spatial interface.
Next research question
Can an AI guide personalise tours for accessibility, fan routes, commercial hospitality and operations teams?

Connected Highways Digital Twin
A smart corridor concept for planning, monitoring, risk alerts and digital twin administration across complex highway projects.
Problem
Major infrastructure programmes split schedules, risk registers, site evidence and reporting across disconnected tools.
Prototype
A corridor command interface combining 3D mapping, progress state, drone feed evidence, hazard alerts and project controls.
What we learned
Operators need fewer dashboards and more decision context: what changed, why it matters and what action is due next.
Next research question
Which workflow should the AI own first: weekly reporting, risk triage, inspection planning or client summaries?

AI Infrastructure Management
A 3D live-map interface for venues, emergency access, routing, asset intelligence and AI-assisted operational reporting.
Problem
Large venues and event sites need shared situational awareness across access, safety, crowd movement and asset state.
Prototype
A concept command layer with Google Maps-style 3D context, emergency routes, assistant prompts and operational tabs.
What we learned
The strongest interface pattern is not a chatbot beside a map; it is an assistant that can act on spatial objects.
Next research question
How should spatial agents verify answers when the source is a live map, a Gaussian Splat, a drone feed or a human report?

Construction Command Center
A construction intelligence interface for project visibility, safety actions, phase planning, alerts and exportable reporting.
Problem
Construction teams need to coordinate projects, assets, safety tasks and reports without losing the field reality behind the paperwork.
Prototype
An internal command-center demo linking active projects, map assets, safety alerts, phase planning and report export actions.
What we learned
A credible construction copilot needs human approval points, traceable evidence and role-specific views before automation.
Next research question
What is the smallest useful agent team for a live project: planner, safety officer, cost manager or reporting assistant?

Simam AI Hub
A free browser workspace that helps SME leaders move from AI uncertainty to a costed, structured transformation plan.
Problem
Teams are often asked to invest in AI before they can explain their readiness, priority use cases, expected return or the system needed to deliver it.
Prototype
An integrated hub with readiness context, AI Pulse, architecture whiteboarding, app design, ROI modelling, roadmaps and persona-aware guidance.
What we learned
The valuable unit is a chain of decisions rather than a single answer: assess, model, design, sequence and then decide where expert help is needed.
Next research question
Can a strategy output become a reusable Simam blueprint without losing its assumptions, evidence and human decisions?

AI Readiness Assessment
A no-signup suite of free tools for understanding AI readiness, modelling ROI and finding a proportionate first step.
Problem
Smaller organisations know AI matters but often cannot see whether their immediate constraint is leadership, data, systems, skills or a defined use case.
Prototype
Client-side tools covering a 20-question readiness assessment, ROI calculator, use-case finder, jargon buster and AI-type recommendations.
What we learned
Useful guidance earns more trust when the first interaction is genuinely valuable, private by default and does not require an email address before showing a result.
Next research question
Which readiness signals best predict a successful first project, and how should the tool recommend the next step without pretending to replace discovery?

NHS Operations Twin
An independent Simam Digital R&D concept exploring how a conversational, geospatial operations twin could connect estate, flow, scenarios and room-level simulation. It is not an official NHS app or NHS-endorsed service.
Problem
Healthcare operations are spread across maps, dashboards, spreadsheets and site-level tools, making it difficult to carry context from system-wide pressure to a local operational decision.
Prototype
A public proof of concept with a national 3D estate view, simulated operational indicators, scenario planning, decision-support research and an assurance surface that explains the direction of a real integration.
What we learned
The map earns attention, but the useful research lies in connecting place, pressure, assumptions, evidence and human review in one legible workflow.
Next research question
How should the twin be evaluated with qualified operations and clinical-safety stakeholders before any real-data pilot is considered?
Start with a clearer view of transformation.
Two practical tools from Simam Digital for organisations deciding where AI and digital transformation can create useful, measurable change. They are free to explore and designed to make the first conversation more grounded.

Simam AI Hub
A free strategy and digital-transformation workspace for exploring AI trends, system architectures, ROI assumptions and practical routes from idea to implementation.

AI Readiness Assessment
A five-minute, no-sign-up assessment that helps a business understand where it stands before investing in AI, then turns the result into a prioritised action plan.
