Not terrible, per se, but not a movie. There are other formats that fit the task better like immersive theater and theater in the round. This has been extensively explored with VR and games, though.
The “per se” is never necessary.
I don't think their writing is supposed to be an exercise in saving bytes. Per se.

#43A gaussian gif. Coming to porn sites soon. The file format name works for them. But imagine whole movies shot in this format. The fly-on-the-wall fantasy of movies, without being locked in place for the whole shot. Narrative possibilities like being able to examine just how close the Tyrannosaurus Rex is to your rear view mirror. Clues in a mystery only visible on rotation. Hidden bonus scenes.

>imagine whole movies shot in this format. The fly-on-the-wall fantasy of movies, without being locked in place for the whole shot. That would be terrible.

A$AP Rocky did it for a music video. Granted, it was only used for the editing process and not the final video, but it still presents some interesting opportunities, though it doesn't really look real so the applications may be limited.

#46I'm so tired of HN putting sites on the top with zero human authorship. I have to listen to Claude-voice enough at my job.

#50The application is cool, but there is little novelty here. All of the employed techniques are well-established. I suggest removing "novel" from the title unless you wish to seriously disappoint some people.
I tried to apply existing mp4 H265 like compression to 3D splats. Do you have any links to other 4D splat formats?
