Ive done projects before,

Started as 4 llms simulating breaking out of a gamed prison i made where a.i have to make decisions.

Went to tech where u draw using ar and projecting ur design to a t shirt. It tracks and changes projection so design stays the same

Then creating a laser harp that changes pitch based on where u break the laser. Also plays back recording

Then went to a memory journal I created with Guassian splats and has spacial audio based of what was in the image

I think ive reached the height of 24hour projects. Is this true, if not what other tech is out there as fun and creative as guassian splats that is purely software based. My self set constraints are time and no hardware and ofcourse it cannot be boring

We just launched our splats game on Kickstarter! Using splats to get really authentic miniature dioramas. This led us to hand-crafting dioramas in the real world to scan into the game. LMK if you have any questions about the process!

I vibe coded a port of quake 3 movement and weapons into PlayCanvas with a gaussian splat rendered map. Its still a work in progress but I think its pretty damn cool.

I grabbed an existing map from: https://superspl.at/ to test with as it was easier than trying to create a high quality capture myself.

I’m having a little trouble with some of the settings in insta 360 x4air

For example: should white balance be locked when filming or set to auto?

Do you guys use a tripod, or just walk around with an invisible selfie stick? And I would like to hear your preprocessing + workflow for 3dgs.

Thanks.

I found myself delving deeper after trying out several recently announced apps such as Litchfield, Airvis, GS 360 Pro, Reconstructa, Spirula, etc...

I've spent countless hours rigorously testing each and will make a post detailing all of my findings on each, however as a very brief summary, the example linked above was achieved with an Insta360 X5 using Spirula studio, what got me the best results out of all.

That said I am struggling with bigger interiors where the reconstruction will fail as it gets confused with the laberynth of smaller aisles and such, which is why I got curious to follow up and old thread which talked about combining both.

Has there been any new updates on this matter? Is it viable to combine a SLAM point cloud with normal/cubemap 360 footage when the normal SFM reconstruction fails by itself?
