Creator of the @playcanvas web graphics platform. I post about WebGL, WebGPU, WebXR and 3D Gaussian splatting.

Turned my laptop screen into a window. 🪟 The webcam tracks my head position via MediaPipe, and the @PlayCanvas Engine renders a 3D Gaussian splat with an off-axis projection - so her gun barrel seems to pop out from the screen. 🔫 Splat by Dymensium.

I asked Fable 5 to turn me into Cyclops. It used PlayCanvas and one-shotted this. 🪄

A fun little 'splat portrait' uploaded to SuperSplat. The astonishing thing? It's only 1.6MB! A full 3D XR-friendly scan no bigger than a PNG/JPG! Made possible by PlayCanvas. 🗜️

This is the first Gaussian splat I ever created - a self-portrait from Nov 2023 scanned with Luma. The PlayCanvas Engine has come so far in the last 2+ years. SuperSplat can now stream splats of unlimited size with precise collision and crazy performance. Free and open source. 🚀

The real estate sector is NOT ready for this. 🏠💥 Forget static photos and clunky 360 tours. You can now freely explore photorealistic digital twins of homes in your browser. The new "Walk Mode" in @PlayCanvas SuperSplat just changed the game. 🧵

I don't even have a photograph of my uni dorm room. 🧑‍🎓 This guy scanned his as a 3D Gaussian splat. Every poster, every bit of desk clutter, a moment frozen in time. Imagine revisiting that room decades from now. SuperSplat lets you explore and share 3D scenes like these. [1/2]

Voxel collision in SuperSplat is a game changer. 🧊 It turns any Gaussian splat into accurate 5 cm voxels, automatically. It's super-compressed and far more efficient than a mesh, yet solid enough to climb stairs and walk crossbeams. Free & open source from PlayCanvas 👇

Some say you can't use 3D Gaussian splats to make videogames. Oh yeah? Put a few zombies in this lab! 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️ SuperSplat link 👇

There has never been a better time to preserve our history. Gaussian splats are effectively immersive photographs - a snapshot of reality, preserved forever to explore. 🏛️✨ PlayCanvas SuperSplat lets you walk through historical monuments in your browser as if you were actually there. 🧵

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.

Think meshes are the best for e-commerce? Think again. 3D Gaussian Splats are fast and cheap to generate...and with the new SOG format from PlayCanvas, this one is only 5.8MB. 🪄 [1 / 2]
