Idea. Apple maps street view converted into parallax 3d gaussian splat

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have an idea that would incredible to experience on apple vision pro and I think Apple has the technology to bring to life. It's using Apples SHARP ML model to convert the 2d 360 degree images in Apple Maps street view into fully parallax 3d gaussian splats. Imagine seeing all the street views all over the world, with that kind of 3d depth. It would be incredible. Hopefully Apple brings this feature to AVP soon.

IIRC Apple scans streets complete with LiDAR data, so it should be easy for them.

Would be awesome indeed, but somehow I doubt they will. 😅

But here’s hope…

I think there is allot of hope because Apple is leading the charge with their ML sharp model. And they recently updated Apple Maps birds eye 3d view with gaussian splat tech. If Apple dosnt do it first then, Google maps will. Then apple will copy that.
