MetalSplatter

3D Gaussian Splats: a brand-new technique to capture real-world scenes in all their richness. If you haven't heard of them, that's because they're still a hot topic of research in 3D graphics, evolving by leaps and bounds by the month. If you have heard of them, you might have some idea of why it's so incredible to view them in full stereo, to look around and immerse yourself in a 3DGS scene. Either way, whether you have your own splats you'd like to explore or just want to get a taste of what it's all about via MetalSplatter's built-in gallery, get ready for a unique experience that lets you use your Vision Pro in a dramatic new way! * Load your own splats in standard PLY or .splat format * Or, select splats in the built-in gallery * Calibrate by setting the scale, 'up' direction, and tweaking the tilt. Save your calibration and viewpoint for each model. * Pinch with both hands simultaneously to move yourself around and rotate the model The core rendering capabilities of MetalSplatter are available as a free open-source library for Apple platforms, based on the Metal graphics API available at https://github.com/scier/MetalSplatter Follow the developer on Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@scier
