Accessibility is the magic here. Anyone with a phone can do this. Capture > upload > process > boom - you’ve got a real environment stored as a 3DGS asset. Right before HalfRez in Chicago, I shot a few quick videos while walking around the city. Nothing planned, nothing...

I really want to show off the cutting edge tech the team is building and how we're turning AI image generation into real living environments using gaussian splats and at the :19 mark of this video you can see how we're blending splats together to create a real world. What this looks like from a gaming perspective is this all happens behind the players view to simulate a real world environment. As you move through the space, distance becomes a variable to consider on how images update and are experienced. We are creating a new reality in real time.

3d gaussian splatting is fucking cool. And now you can capture real world spaces just by walking around in your meta quest headset. The real-time feedback ensures you don’t miss a spot. Apple needs to get on this asap:

Gaussian Splatting is pretty wild. Being able to take dense collections of assets and package them into fast, real-time splats opens up a ton of new possibilities for look-dev, previs, and interactive scenes. For this test, I built a pile of 400 skulls - roughly 40+ million polygons (and over 400 8K texture instances) - rendered out a 600 frame dataset on The Render Network with OTOY OctaneRender and then converted the result into a single splat asset. Now it runs in real-time as one compact Gaussian Splat.

You can now convert your own Panoramas into Spatial Scenes (Gaussian Splats) in visionOS 27 AND set those Spatial Panoramas into Permanent environments! Making past memories of places you captured into virtual volumetric backgrounds (It also names them via capture location)

Volumetrics are amazing but historically heavy, dense, and painful to art direct. 3D Gaussian Splatting changes that by turning volumetric simulations into real-time, lightweight assets. With sufficient temporal data, these can evolve into true 4D Gaussian Splats. Even from a single static 3DGS, artists can create pseudo-4D behavior using simple deformers and procedural effects - bending, twisting, reshaping, and re-timing volumetric forms at will. This is a massive shift in how volumetrics can be captured, manipulated, and directed and also redefines them as swift real-time modular assets.

3d gaussian splats + photogrammetry can work together beautifully – you don’t have to choose. I’m using a drone capture for the hero asset. Google maps aerial photogrammetry for the world around it.

The Ring (Montreal) — Dormant Memories series New alternate scene, and an iteration on the UX and flow. Starting from a volumetric capture of a real location in Montreal, reconstructed as 3D Gaussian Splats, I then used World Labs' Marble to generate alternate versions of that same space. Running in real time using spark. #GaussianSplatting #3DGS #pointcloud #sparkjs #threejs

for physical AI to work in the real world, it needs high-fidelity 3D models of the real world. not just for visualization — for localization, spatial reasoning, and real-to-sim workflows that close the gap between training and deployment. at Niantic Spatial 🌎, we're turning Spexi drone imagery into exactly that — city-scale Gaussian splats grounded in the environments that matter most.

Have you made some #3D models with #gaussiansplatting using Luma or polycam ? Here is how you can now clean them up directly on the web: People nowadays call them "Splats". These 3D models have the advantage of being extremely light compared to polygon-based 3D models. You can use various apps to generate these assets like the one I mentioned above. Often what you need is just a video or a set of images that you can shoot directly from your phone. To my knowledge, none of those apps right now offer the ability to edit and "clean" the model you get.... UNTIL NOW! You can go to from PlayCanvas import the splats you have downloaded and start cleaning it up directly on your #browser. After that the asset is ready to be exported as a PLY file Was this useful? Follow me for more content around #XR and #AI 😉

Turned my real world 360 images into 3d scenes with World Labs. You can use the built-in editing tools to stitch them together into large-scale 3d worlds - then use them as virtual set for your AI videos, games and VR experiences. The holodeck is much closer than you think.

Look at how crispy this 3d gaussian splat came out! The reflections in the painting have me floored. Captured with a Sony a7iii camera and 18mm lens. I posed the imagery using epic's reality capture and trained it with lichtfeld studio. Lichtfeld is my new favorite way to train splats -- it integrates all the latest research and it’s completely free. Also what I love about 3d capture -- you can process old datasets with new algorithms and breathe new life into them.

What happens if you try to push and squash a Gaussian splat? :) Been playing with adding simplified deformation and a lightweight physics simulation layer to Gaussian splats, running directly in real time on mobile. Instead of simulating every splat, this uses a small CPU lattice to drive the deformation, plus a per-splat transform so they actually stretch and compress properly. No mesh conversion, no retraining. Just layered on top of the renderer. You can push, bend, squash a scan and it holds together surprisingly well... Still early, but I can see the potential in making splats feel more real, from static captures to something more tactile, something you can touch, throw, bounce around… or well just fold and squash on the floor :) #GaussianSplatting #3DGS #Unity

i like big splats and i cannot lie. you can now compress, tile and stream city scale 3d gaussian splats -- glTF has an official 3DGS extension now too. this is what the future of google earth looks like. no more broccoli trees. no more melted powerlines. immaculate ground level detail that actually holds up.

SuperSplat is growing at a crazy pace. You can dive in and out of real-world scans in an instant. 10s of thousands of 3D Gaussian splat places to explore! 🌍 Made possible by PlayCanvas and our super-compressed SOG format for 3DGS!

Another city. Another full 3D Gaussian Splat reconstruction. This entire neighborhood was captured while walking with an Insta360 X5, then processed with our GPU pipeline and transformed into a high-fidelity, machine-readable 3D environment with Over the Reality. What you’re seeing is not an isolated virtual world. It’s a 3D digital twin of a real-world location, built from structured spatial data where every building, street, and detail can become usable by AI, robotics, and XR. And it’s happening at scale, across cities in more than 180 countries every day. Have an Insta360 X5 and want to become a mapper?

I’m blown away by Meta’s Hyperscapes. You feel like you’re actually there. Makes me wish I could go back in time, capture the places I’ve loved, and step back into them whenever I want. The fact you can capture these with Quest 3 is wild.

The fact that you can create a video like this in just a few minutes is pretty insane and magical. Anyone can place themselves into any world they want, real or imagined, instantly and soon in real time. The Moore's law of generative AI was right: the quality, resolution, and control of models doubles about every year.

Dormant Memories — a gallery regrouping my recent experiments built from real-world captures, reconstructed as 3D Gaussian Splats, and in many cases manipulated using World Labs' Marble. Everything is built with Spark, the 3D Gaussian splat renderer released by World Labs. It runs in the browser and can be experienced across devices: desktop, mobile, and headsets like Apple Vision Pro and Quest 3. This work comes out of something I've been exploring for a few years now: capturing fragments of the world (places, objects, moments...) and turning them into spaces that can then be revisited, manipulated, and explored in real time. What particularly interests me here is the process of creating alternate versions of the same place; starting from something that physically exists and using it as a base to explore variations, instead of generating from scratch. These explorations are part of what we do at Dpt.... same tools, same curiosity, same collaborative energy that shape the studio's work on interactive and immersive experiences. Some of these experiments were featured as part of the Spark 2.0 release by World Labs. Their technical blog post is a must-read; link in the thread ↓ These are experiments. They aren't fully optimized, they aren't bug-free, and the UX has rough edges. The goal is to explore, test, and learn. #GaussianSplatting #3DGS #pointcloud #WorldModels #sparkjs #threejs
