AEye and Alive3D partner to bring AEye's software-defined Apollo™ lidar sensor to Alive3D's platform, delivering 3D spatial sports visualization, precise measurement, and advanced data analytics. PLEASANTON, Calif., August 04, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIDR), a leader in adaptive, high-performance lidar, today announced a partnership with Alive3D, an innovative sports and entertainment technology company. Alive3D is integrating AEye's Apollo™ lidar as a foundational sensing component within its platform, addressing a longstanding industry challenge: accurately capturing and analyzing live sports in true three dimensions, with the spatial precision of lidar rather than relying solely on cameras. Apollo's™ software-defined architecture allows sensing performance to be optimized for demanding applications, enabling Alive3D to deliver next-generation 3D spatial sports visualization, precise measurement, and advanced data analytics that would be difficult to achieve with conventional fixed-function sensors. The relationship demonstrates how software-defined perception is uniquely capable of expanding beyond transportation into new, high-growth markets where machines interact with and understand complex real-world environments. Apollo's™ software-defined architecture allows customers to tailor sensing performance for entirely new use cases, making it possible to optimize perception for elite sports without redesigning hardware. Alive3D is deploying the solution with proof-of-concept programs underway in Europe. AEye believes this collaboration highlights the expanding commercial potential of its lidar technology in new, high-growth markets while supporting customers building category-defining solutions. "This opportunity demonstrates exactly why software-defined lidar matters," said Matt Fisch, Chairman and CEO of AEye. "Alive3D needed a sensing platform that could be optimized for a demanding application, and Apollo™ delivered. In this instance, we are synchronizing multiple lidar units to cover a vast area simultaneously from different perspectives. As Physical AI expands into new markets, we're seeing growing demand for perception systems that can adapt to the application rather than forcing the application to adapt to the sensor." "We have created a tectonic shift in how sports are captured, analyzed and engaged with," said Raymie Marchak, ...
