ALLSIDES

ALLSIDES is an Italian technology company, formerly known as Covision Media, that builds AI-driven 3D scanning systems and a 3D data platform. It was spun off in 2024 from Covision Lab, an industry-focused computer vision and AI research consortium founded by several technology and industrial companies. The company is headquartered in Bressanone (Brixen) in the Dolomites of Northern Italy, and its founding team includes Franz Tschimben (Co-Founder & CEO), Burkhard Güssefeld (Co-Founder & CTO) and Harald Oberrauch (Co-Founder). The core of the ALLSIDES offering is a scanner that automatically produces "reality-grade" 3D digital twins: a physical object is placed into the scanner and the system mass-produces high-precision, relightable 3D models in minutes. The company positions this output as the data layer for three application areas — Physical AI (interactive 3D digital twins that accelerate robotics and real-world AI development), Generative 3D (training text-to-3D and image-to-3D models), and AI-powered content creation (contextual video and immersive 3D product content). ALLSIDES sells to brands and retailers that need scalable, high-quality 3D product assets. Publicly cited customers and partners include Zalando and Adidas, whose teams have praised the quality and relightability of ALLSIDES scans for scaled 3D production. NVIDIA has also publicly endorsed the company's work in robotics training and physical AI. The company is venture-backed, with investors including CDP A.I. Fund, Euregio+ & Redstone, and The Techshop, plus angel investors such as Prof. Pietro Perona, Prof. Daniel Cremers and Franco Fogliato. As a young startup in the fast-moving 3D AI field, ALLSIDES emphasizes transparency, humility and speed as core values, and describes its technology as state-of-the-art but still evolving. Its stated mission is to transform physical objects into reality-grade digital twins at scale, serving the emerging markets for physical AI, generative 3D and digital content production.

ALLSIDES traces its origins to Covision Lab, an industry-focused computer vision and AI research consortium founded by several technology and industrial companies. In 2024, the consortium's commercial 3D-scanning activities were spun off into an independent company, initially operating as Covision Media and later rebranded as ALLSIDES. The spin-off was conducted in 2024, and the new company established its headquarters in Bressanone (Brixen) in the Dolomites of Northern Italy. The founding team consists of Franz Tschimben (Co-Founder & CEO), Burkhard Güssefeld (Co-Founder & CTO) and Harald Oberrauch (Co-Founder). The company is backed by venture investors including CDP A.I. Fund, Euregio+ & Redstone and The Techshop, along with angel investors such as Prof. Pietro Perona, Prof. Daniel Cremers and Franco Fogliato. Marco Allegretti, Ben Scheidt and Gianluca D'Agostino are listed as investors. From its base in Northern Italy, ALLSIDES developed AI-driven 3D scanning hardware and software that automatically produce reality-grade 3D digital twins. The company's scanners are designed so that a user simply places a physical object into the scanner, after which the system mass-produces high-precision, relightable 3D models in minutes. This output is positioned as the data layer for three markets: Physical AI, Generative 3D and AI-powered content creation. By the mid-2020s, ALLSIDES had gained visibility with major brand and retail customers. Zalando's VP Content Solutions, Matthias Haase, stated that ALLSIDES scanning tech consistently delivers high-quality 3D output crucial for scaling 3D content at Zalando. Tommy Lenssen, Head of the Adidas team, noted that the quality and relightability of ALLSIDES 3D scans enable a global team of 3D and photo specialists to use the models for all final applications. NVIDIA also publicly praised the company's work as a great advancement for robotics training and physical AI. As a young startup in the rapidly evolving 3D AI field, ALLSIDES emphasizes transparency, humility and speed as core values, and acknowledges that its technology, while state-of-the-art, is not yet perfect and continues to be developed.
