Interesting!! - So it will be available to ARCore enabled devices only?

It works with iOS and Android, according to their docs you can use the ARCore SDK for iOS.

I love how itโ€™s all screen passthrough. Itโ€™s tangible today for everyone! No extra hardware needed.

Absolutely, this is the beginning of whatโ€™s coming with AR headsets, using the world as our canvas !

WOW. ๐Ÿ˜ณ Apple just quietly won the 3D maps war at WWDC. Gaussian Splatting is coming to Apple Maps Flyover this fall. Apple Maps Flyover covers 300+ cities. Until yesterday, every single one was built on standard drone photogrammetry. The technology captures photos from the air and reconstructs 3D geometry from them. Gaussian Splatting does not reconstruct geometry. It represents the scene as millions of tiny 3D ellipsoids, each one carrying its own color and opacity information based on how light actually behaves in that location. The output is not a mesh model. It is a field of light. When you move through it, it does not crumble at the edges. The detail holds because it was never geometry to begin with. Apple has been hiring for this for years. Their SHARP model, published in research last year, generates photorealistic 3D scenes from a single image in under a second. Google has more sensor data than anyone. More Street View cars, more satellites, more capture history. On navigation accuracy and geodata depth, Google Maps is still ahead by most measures. But fidelity in 3D city rendering is a different competition, and Apple just set a bar in that. Most people will experience this in the fall without knowing the name of the technology. They will open Flyover, look at a city they know, and notice it looks different. Real, not rendered. That is the moment Gaussian Splatting stops being a research term and becomes something a billion people use. Bookmark this. It will look prescient by October.

DreamCraft3D: Hierarchical 3D Generation with Bootstrapped Diffusion Prior paper page: present DreamCraft3D, a hierarchical 3D content generation method that produces high-fidelity and coherent 3D objects. We tackle the problem by leveraging a 2D reference image to guide the stages of geometry sculpting and texture boosting. A central focus of this work is to address the consistency issue that existing works encounter. To sculpt geometries that render coherently, we perform score distillation sampling via a view-dependent diffusion model. This 3D prior, alongside several training strategies, prioritizes the geometry consistency but compromises the texture fidelity. We further propose Bootstrapped Score Distillation to specifically boost the texture. We train a personalized diffusion model, Dreambooth, on the augmented renderings of the scene, imbuing it with 3D knowledge of the scene being optimized. The score distillation from this 3D-aware diffusion prior provides view-consistent guidance for the scene. Notably, through an alternating optimization of the diffusion prior and 3D scene representation, we achieve mutually reinforcing improvements: the optimized 3D scene aids in training the scene-specific diffusion model, which offers increasingly view-consistent guidance for 3D optimization. The optimization is thus bootstrapped and leads to substantial texture boosting. With tailored 3D priors throughout the hierarchical generation, DreamCraft3D generates coherent 3D objects with photorealistic renderings, advancing the state-of-the-art in 3D content generation.

GeoLibre v2.0.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source geospatial platform that runs everywhere: as a native desktop app, in the browser, on Android, and embedded right inside Jupyter notebooks. It brings modern web mapping, cloud-native data formats, and a full processing toolbox together in one place, all built on MapLibre and with no proprietary lock-in. Our first major release adds a true 3D globe, takes mapping beyond Earth to Mars and the Moon, lets styles round-trip with QGIS, and turns loaded vector layers into editable, save-back-to-source data. What's new in v2.0.0 - Planetary mapping: explore Mars, the Moon, and other bodies with the OpenPlanetaryMap basemaps, a per-project ellipsoid, and a planet switcher right in the Layers panel. - CesiumJS 3D globe: switch any map pane to a photorealistic 3D globe that stays camera-synced with your 2D maps and mirrors the layer stack. - True 3D data: render vector layers with Z coordinates, load TIN/MultiPatch 3D shapefiles, and display KML/KMZ Collada (.dae) 3D models. - Symbology interchange: import and export vector styling as OGC SLD, QGIS QML, and Mapbox GL style JSON, so styles round-trip between GeoLibre, QGIS, and the Mapbox/MapLibre ecosystem. - Editable source layers: edit vector layers and write the changes back to their source, including GeoPackage and GeoJSON files and PostGIS database tables. - Weather and sky: a new Weather menu with live cloud and precipitation radar overlays (RainViewer), plus a Google Earth-style sun position simulation for realistic lighting. - Terrain and lighting: double-click the terrain control to set vertical exaggeration, and view any scene in true 3D relief. - Smarter data import: bring in CSV without coordinates as an attribute table, split GPX track points and route points into separate layers, and load macOS-zipped and projected-CRS shapefiles. - Raster in the browser: build normalized-difference indices for any HTTP COG and extract COG/WMS/XYZ bounding-box subsets client-side. - Field Calculator upgrades: compute geometry length and area directly on your features. - Attribute table: multi-select rows with Ctrl and Shift, plus faster navigation. - Google Earth-style extras: "View in Google Maps / Google Earth" actions, camera-reset keyboard shortcuts, and a UTM easting/northing grid mode for the Gridlines overlay. - New plugins: a Mapillary coverage and street-level image viewer, a Historical Imagery panel, and an Elevation Profile tool. - Fully localized: all 13 language catalogs are complete, so the entire UI is translatable. Try it out - Launch GeoLibre Web: - GitHub: - Documentation: - Release notes: #GIS #GeospatialData #OpenSource #RemoteSensing #DataVisualization #MapLibre #GeoLibre
