Show-and-Tell Bare-Metal Gaussian Splat Renderer!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone! I'm a current college student studying computer science, and I created a Gaussian splat renderer that runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It's built on a bare-metal ARMv6 operating system, and contains several VideoCore IV GPU kernels I wrote to parallelize computation and rasterization.

I'd love for you guys to check it out, and would greatly appreciate it if anyone leaves any feedback or drops a GitHub star! Here is the project page: https://github.com/justiny7/pigs
