First let's do the fun part. Take a look at these gsplats, processed on the Lumalabs site: Malibu Hilltop house (seen a couple days ago via my post regarding Realsee Galois and Matterport Pro 3) Malibu Hilltop gsplat Castle Peak, West Hills, CA Castle Peak gsplat Calabasas Estate, Calabasas, CA Calabasas Estate gsplat 57 Windward, Venice, CA 57 Windward gsplat Malibu View Malibu View gsplat Don't just WATCH these gsplats rotate in their auto-loops, click and drag wherever you want to go. That's the beauty of this. Gaussian Splatting is a new process for the creation of high-performance 3D models. It's not photogrammetry. It's not NeRF radiance fields. It's a bit of both and beyond. Before you ask - NO - I haven't the faintest idea how it works, even after watching multiple videos made by people much smarter than me. Here's one to check out: Why am I excited? Because other people (smarter than me) believe that gsplats will (soon) be a method to create 3D models for virtual tours that function better and look better than what we can achieve today with photogrammetry. AND… You know how in a Matterport dollhouse you can move around, but only stop at the nodes where the camera was placed? How would you like to move ANYWHERE, freely and smoothly, like this: 3DVista - First Person Mode https://storage.net-fs.com/hosting/2727323/493/ Skip the Intro and get into navigating this gallery. No nodes, smooth movement anywhere. BTW, if your "feet" hit one of the benches, you'll be stopped, just like in real life, Ouch! Backup a little and watch where you're going! This is NOT a gsplat, but it demonstrates that principle of free movement without nodes. This gallery was created in a CAD program, not "captured" like with Matterport, but you get the idea. Gsplats have no nodes, and they are probably coming to systems like 3DVista where you can already create virtual tours based on 3D models such as these we have completed, which used photogrammetry: (Tip: look at these on a computer or at least an iPad. They work on phones but you’re cheating yourself with a tiny screen) SantaRosaTour.com HillsideTour.com HamptonTour.com SequoiaTour.com There is very exciting stuff happening in 3D for virtual tours. Anything I learn, I’ll post here so all of us Dan-fans can share and learn from one another. If you're committed to blazing trails, study up and fasten your seat belt. |

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm (which really is impressive), @home3d :-) And also thanks, @MeshImages, for the link to the additional tech infos! There are of course also other pages comparing those technologically different approaches, but (at a first glance) that one seems to be really good! Best regards, Dietmar |

@Home3D Thank you for sharing. There is something MAGICAL about the transition from mesh-view to image view. And, the ability to smoothly fly-in. Please keep sharing, including your insights. Dan |
