Antigravity is the maker of the A1, a 249g 8K 360-degree camera drone that captures full-sphere video in a single flight, ideal for Gaussian splatting reconstruction. Its Project Eternal heritage campaign with Insta360, Splatica and CyArk has since closed with over 225 submissions.

Platform
Standalone 360 camera drone. Footage exports as equirectangular video and feeds any Gaussian splatting pipeline, cloud or local
GPU
None for capture. Antigravity publishes no requirement of its own, because the A1 is a capture device and reconstruction runs off board, in the Splatica cloud on the Project Eternal pipeline or in any local splat trainer

Full sphere aerial capture for Gaussian splatting, with no gaps or blind spots from limited camera angles
Updated
July 2026
Antigravity is the drone brand of Insta360, building the A1 — the world's first 8K immersive 360 drone, weighing just 249g so it falls under most civil aviation lightweight exemptions. The full-sphere capture means a single flight can produce all the imagery needed for a Gaussian Splatting reconstruction, with no gaps or blind spots from limited camera angles.
In April 2026, Antigravity launched Project Eternal, a global initiative — in partnership with Insta360, Splatica, and heritage non-profit CyArk — to preserve fragile cultural sites as 3D Gaussian Splat archives. The accompanying community challenge ran April 24 to June 24, 2026, with $3,500 cash plus a Splatica subscription as the top prize.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Antigravity A1 good for Gaussian splatting?
The A1 captures the full sphere in 8K on a single flight, so one pass produces imagery with no gaps or blind spots from limited camera angles. That is the property Gaussian splatting reconstruction depends on, and it is why the drone was paired with cloud reconstruction for Project Eternal.
How much does the Antigravity A1 weigh, and does it need registration?
The A1 weighs 249g, which places it under most civil aviation lightweight exemptions. Registration and flight rules still vary by country, so check the regulator where you fly.
What GPU do you need for the Antigravity A1?
None for capture. The A1 records footage and does no reconstruction on board, so the GPU requirement belongs to whatever splatting pipeline you send the footage to. Project Eternal used Splatica's cloud service, which needs no local GPU at all.
What was Project Eternal?
Project Eternal was a heritage preservation campaign Antigravity launched in April 2026 with Insta360, Splatica and the non-profit CyArk, pairing the A1 for aerial capture with the Insta360 X5 on the ground. Pompeii and Civita di Bagnoregio were the pilot sites. The community challenge has since closed with more than 225 submissions from over 2,000 creators across more than 20 countries.
