+# Outerview
+
+**A research lab building world models.**
+
+Outerview is a research lab focused on understanding the physical world at planetary scale.
+
+We are building systems that can organize the world’s physical information and make it accessible and usable — transforming raw imagery, video, location, and spatial context into knowledge that people and machines can search, interpret, and act on.
+
+Our belief is simple: the physical world should be as searchable and understandable as the digital world.
+
+---
+
+## What we work on
+
+We work on world models: systems that help machines understand **what exists, where it is, how it changes, and how to navigate it**.
+
+This includes research and infrastructure for:
+
+- large-scale physical world understanding  
+- geospatial search and retrieval  
+- visual and spatial representation learning  
+- earth-scale indexing of imagery and video  
+- real-world reasoning across time and place  
+
+---
+
+## Our mission
+
+**Organize the world’s physical information and make it accessible and usable.**
+
+We see this as foundational infrastructure for the next generation of AI systems, robotics, mapping, autonomy, logistics, science, and real-world discovery.
+
+---
+
+## Why this matters
+
+Today, most of the world’s physical information is fragmented, unstructured, and difficult to use.
+
+Images, street-level video, geographic context, and changes over time exist in massive quantities, but they are not yet organized into a system that can be queried like knowledge.
+
+We are working toward that system.
+
+A world model should not only describe the world, but help people and machines:
+
+- search the physical environment  
+- understand real places and objects  
+- reason over change through time  
+- build applications grounded in reality  
+
+---
+
+## Research direction
+
+Our work sits at the intersection of:
+
+- computer vision  
+- geospatial intelligence  
+- multimodal representation learning  
+- search and retrieval systems  
+- physical-world AI  
+
+We are interested in building models and datasets that improve how AI systems perceive, index, and interact with the real world.
+

+
+## On Hugging Face
+
+This organization is where we share selected research artifacts, datasets, and experiments related to physical-world understanding.
+
+These releases are part of a broader effort to help make the world more observable, searchable, and computable.
+
+---
+
+## Vision
+
+We believe world models will become core infrastructure.
+
+Not just for understanding text, images, or the web but for understanding reality itself.
+
+Outerview exists to help build that future.
