Founded by autonomous vehicle and gaming experts, Tolga Kart, Piotr Sokolski and Özgun Pelvan, Third Dimension was will empower engineers and artists to generate incredibly detailed, high-fidelity worlds—both real and imagined—with a single click. Prior to founding Third Dimension, Kart was VP of Engineering for a synthetic data company, Parallel Domain. Before joining Tesla as Technical Program Management & Simulation for Autopilot for over two years, he was a Senior Director on Call of Duty at Activision for over 5 years. Sokolski spent four years at Wayve during which he built photorealistic neural simulators for self-driving cars, as well as over three years at Google; and Pelvan is a published machine learning engineer with five published papers about neural networks and data imputation.

Third Dimension provides immersive quality, rendering engine ready content that is ready to use by professionals across multiple industries. Third Dimension’s target customers range from The U.S. Military to video game developers to autonomous vehicle companies.

“The ability to simulate the real world is one of the last frontiers in solving some very difficult engineering problems”, said Tolga Kart, Third Dimension’s CEO. “3D content generation is at an inflection point, and it’s about to have its Software 2.0 moment. Over the last five years, text and code generation have been transformed with ChatGPT. Image generation quickly followed suit. Video generation is seeing incredible momentum and will soon be a solved problem. 3D generation is the next frontier for generative content.”
