Exploring what
comes next.

The experimentation arm of YB Group, focused on emerging technologies that sustain and expand YB's technological edge.

01

Building what
comes next.

YB Labs exists to keep YB at the forefront of immersive technology.

We identify the technologies and ideas that can strengthen our products and operations today, while developing novel approaches that can become the intellectual property behind tomorrow's YB products.

02

Where we're
experimenting.

Labs works at the intersection of immersive media, artificial intelligence and emerging computing — turning new technological possibilities into tangible experiments.

01Research area

Future of Content

Exploring truly novel ways to capture, represent and distribute reality.

Current exploration
  • 3D / 4D Gaussian Splatting content generation
  • Transmission of volumetric content at scale
  • World models for immersive experiences
02Research area

Media Enrichment

We already work with massive amounts of media. Labs explores how emerging AI and XR technologies can make that content richer, more spatial and more engaging — while keeping video at the center of the experience.

Current exploration
  • AI upscaling workflows for immersive media
  • Automatic spatialization of content
  • Flat-to-immersive content generation
03Research area

Applied AI

Continuously evaluating how advances in AI models, agents and generative tools can improve YB products, production workflows and internal operations.

Current exploration
  • Agentic workflows for production tooling
  • 3D content generation for tabletop experiences
  • AI-generated clips and highlights for sports content
04Research area

Emerging Verticals

Exploring industries where YB's technology, infrastructure and immersive expertise can create new value.

Current exploration
  • Health & pharma
  • Defense
  • Education
03

From signal
to product.

Research only matters when it creates a decision. Every experiment moves through a simple cycle.

01

Scout

Track research, vendors and community signals across the technologies and content areas relevant to YB.

02

Validate

Build rapid prototypes and working proofs of concept using real YB media and production workflows. Test ideas with customers and internal teams.

03

Decide

Every experiment reaches an explicit outcome. We kill it, keep exploring, or graduate it into YB products and operations.
