I read [1], but I still don't quite know what I'm looking at. My guess is a 3D model reconstructed from lots of detailed pictures? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_splatting

This video explains how Gaussian splatting works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8yRlA7jqEQ

Thank you for the link, amazing video!

I know feelings about AI are mixed. But when AI can dream up gaussian splats in real time, from a prompt, and do refinement as you get closer to things... That's going to be pretty bonkers.

We are currently at real-time video generation that can be converted to splats or meshes.

Thanks for the reminder how fucked up British government is. Can't run VPN here. (imgur is not available in the UK thanks to those authoritarian twats called Labour)

I also have them on x: https://x.com/DanyBittel/status/2055624819941483005 I thought direct image links are more welcomed here.

Just wow! As I scrolled through the website, I was even more impressed with this one though! https://superspl.at/scene/c67edb74

This one keeps crashing the browser after it reaches 100%. Safari/iOS, iPhone 13. I was able to navigate and use a few of the other ones linked to from the comments, though. Curious.

I have the same phone and it crashed for me too after reaching 100%

Beautiful. What I love about gaussian splats is the way they degrade - instead of a hard cutoff or LoD changing spheres into cubes etc., they get increasingly "dreamy" - the basic idea is still there, just less detailed. Take for example this scene: https://superspl.at/scene/e721ea7c If you navigate closer to the trees, things around you become blurry - as if the very fabric of reality unraveled.

Yeah, it's an incredibly cool effect. Reality breaking down into fog and frosted glass and paint smudges and slivers of northern lights and all the dandelion fluff. Even navigation becomes harder and less predictable as coherence recedes.

This feels so much closer to how minds must store and process spatial information than the usual 3D models do.

That's what Google Street View should be like more.

Gaussian splats are huge. I don't think they'll scale to google maps level. It'll be too much data.
