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. 🧵

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 👇

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.

Turn any 3D Gaussian splat into a collision/proxy mesh (glTF 3D format). 🧊 Coming in the next release of the free and open source SuperSplat Editor by PlayCanvas. What do you think? 👂

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. 🧵

Walking inside a 5,000 year-old Neolithic burial site, perfectly preserved in 3D. 🏛️✨ This is the Kleinenknetener Steine II in Germany - a megalithic site from 3500 BC. Thanks to Gaussian Splatting, you can now explore these ancient monuments with stunning realism in your web browser. [1 / 2]

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]

Oh my! Someone uploaded a HUGE 880MB splat of Baishihu Suspension Bridge to SuperSplat. It's so big - it takes 2 minutes to speedrun end to end. Largest walkable splat yet? Rendered in-browser on the WebGPU-powered @PlayCanvas Engine. 🔥 [1 / 3]

This insanity continues. 🤯 Somebody turned a sprawling Minecraft world into a 3D Gaussian splat. While the graphics are now 3DGS, the collision system is still voxels! 🧊 Rendered by the PlayCanvas Engine on WebGPU.

Somebody uploaded this to SuperSplat and I can barely believe it's a real place. The architecture is wow. 😲 Now anyone can visit it in their browser. 438MB of splat data, rendered in PlayCanvas. Real-time cultural heritage belongs on the web. 🧵
