This isn’t video. It’s a photorealistic 3D Gaussian splat of a 15th–16th century church near Bergamo. 🇮🇹 Half a GB of data, but it loads instantly in the browser (thanks to the PlayCanvas Engine). Digital heritage and virtual tourism are about to change forever.

Splats are getting larger and more detailed. The dataset for this scan of Koriyama Castle in Japan is half a gigabyte. But it loads nearly instantly. Imagine being able to visit perfect digital copies of any location in the world - this is where SuperSplat is heading. [1 / 2]
