Playing with 3DGS

HI,
I've been playing with Gaussian Splatting the past 2 weeks and the results, even if far from perfect is really promissing.
The player I used is based on BabylonJS and the guy who coded it added a nice web editor to add waypoints, hotspots, colliders...
All this is still early Beta but it quite exciting.
Can't wait that Klaus adds 3DGS support to our favorite player !

High res : https://www.360images.fr/gsplats/kitchen_demo.html
Low res (for bad connection and old GPU) : https://www.360images.fr/gsplats/kitchen_demo_low_res.html

I tried many workflows, 360 videos, 360 photos, phone videos...
The training models don't support well distorted images, so exported rectilinear views from the 360's.
The best result I had was shooting with my Nikon D850 and a 14mm lens.
I shot all around the kitchen at 1m from the walls and opposite, also in the diagonal.
Also up and down for each location, but didn't shot at different heights because I just wanted a walkthrough view, but can't set the viewer to always keep the same elevation for now...
The
DGS software used is PostShot and the player/editor is Story Splat.
Will make more test in different environments in the next weeks, if you need some data to test just ask ;)

Convert your .ply file to .splat, it will reduce the file by 9

3000 in the high Res

300 in the low res

I sent the same images to luma AI to see how good it is.
It's not bad, free and just grag n drop, but result is not as good as PostShot one.
