I like the moving cars. They're copies of the stopped ones right? Adds a good effect.

#22This is such a cool immersive experience on mobile that works so well. Great job on this!

#23From OP's prior work scanning Sutro Tower in SF: https://vincentwoo.com/2025/02/18/sutro-tower-in-3d/ . > This scan is made possible by recent advances in Gaussian Splatting. This is an emerging technology that lets us quickly create very detailed models just from photographs. For this model (or splat, as we call them), my friend Daylen and I flew our drones around Sutro Tower at a respectful distance for an afternoo…
Yes, I also added a bit of context on twitter ( https://xcancel.com/fulligin/status/2079296985811873796 ) and will probably blog about the process a bit more. Grace was a lot more work than Sutro. I wanted to be ambitious in combining interior/exterior scenes in a new way, and I also wanted it to be less of a "toy". Grace actually plans to use this to show prospective renters the space, and we spent a lot of time mak…
absolutely beautiful.
I'd love to learn this process and attempt to capture a local rock climbing route.
anything you write about the process, or how you learned are very welcome.

#26Looks good the few seconds it works here. Then stops working and I have to close the tab and reopen for it to work again for another few seconds.

It looks like a webgpu driver issue - can you tell me what model of graphics chip you're using?

#28Did you animate the cars separately? That really did a lot to add to the immersion (and the sound effects too). If nothing moved I think the effect would be significantly diminished.

#29Unreal. It’s been years since I’ve been here. It’s crazy the fidelity you can capture. Stunning work.
Unrelated silly question. Are you the same Vincent Woo who went over the whole unit combination story on Medium of a supervisor?

#30Gsplat is indeed the future for graphics. Handling much more detail in mobile hardware spec. Check this work too. (Not mine) https://demo.immersivetech.ch/chateau-la-sarraz/
