Where Rayform fits.
There are many tools between a robot's recordings and a training run: log platforms, reconstruction libraries, capture apps, digital twins, generated worlds. Rayform takes your recordings, reconstructs them in 3D over time with the robot state aligned, and serves them to your trainer. Here is how that compares, and when another option is the better fit.
At a glance.
Eight things robot learning teams ask about a data pipeline. “Partly” means some products or some of the data, or that it needs extra work. Select a name for the full comparison.

Side by side.
Rayform vs Foxglove
Log storage, visualisation and search for robotics data, versus Rayform's 3D reconstruction and training-ready slices of the same recordings.
Rayform vs NVIDIA NuRec
Free libraries to reconstruct a scene for Isaac Sim, versus a managed service that reconstructs, aligns, labels and serves all your recordings.
Rayform vs Niantic Spatial
A capture app that turns a scan into a static simulation scene, versus Rayform's processing of full robot recordings over time.
Rayform vs Parallax Worlds
A service that builds a twin of one facility to test automation, versus Rayform's processing of your recordings into training data.
Rayform vs Lightwheel
Simulation-first infrastructure with its own assets and data, versus Rayform's processing of the recordings you already have.
Rayform vs World Labs
Generated worlds from an image or prompt, versus Rayform's reconstruction of what your sensors actually recorded.
