Gaussian splatting

And there's a lot of other cool stuff going on too.

There's some new technology called Gaussian Splatting.

It's a really cool way to have a more photorealistic view from multiple images.

Matt and I have looked at some ways that we may consider using this technology to display what stands look like and show some stuff a little bit better than what a point cloud or something like that would show.

I... forced myself to live like a zoo animal who makes everything digital in my life.

And whether that be 3D models, gaussian splatting, Arcturus Vision Camera showed off a feature.

I don't know if you guys saw it.

It's called Gaussian Splatting.

I'm very obsessed with that technology.

It's basically like 3D models, but like way higher fidelity.

Thank you for having me.

So, Sunny, everybody is excited about getting this Gaussian Splatting on the web, and StorySplat could be the solution for that.

So what is StorySplat?

Yeah, so StorySplat, simply put, is a tool that lets you create the final product for what your Gaussian Splat can be.

And the idea is a story splat.

You can create these rich interactive experiences that tell a story, but also guide a user through, uh, a journey and lets them actually experience spatial media in a way that's accessible

so there are let's say several attempts in different ways at creating something like this so what would you say are the things that set story splat aside from something that maybe people might be very familiar with like super splat being like the database of gaussian splatting for example

Of course.

And I think, honestly, I think that's the major use case for this.

I think spatial capture and Gaussian splatting is still something that a smaller fraction of the audience is going to do.

And I think the majority are just going to be wanting great, comfortable pass-through while they're playing games and going in and out of VR.

So in playing the 2D games on the Steam Frame, do you find that it's just as capable to play it with a mixed reality pass-through, or do you find that it's a little bit more performant when you're just playing it like more of a VR mode?
