View splats right in the room with you! MetalSplatter 1.1 takes advantage of visionOS 2's ability to render Metal over passthrough video in order to display splats in AR (mixed immersive mode). If you're running visionOS 2, then check out the Summer Fountain in the gallery for an example. Try repositioning it (pinch with both fingers), rotate, and play with the scale (via the Calibration control mode).

MetalSplatter now has a gallery! Even if you don't have your own splats, use the Gallery tab to quickly get a taste of what gaussian splats are like. And if you have your own you'd like to nominate for the gallery, let us know! No more WobbleSplats(tm)! Changes to how depth is computed get rid of a lot of the tearing and jiggling in prior versions, resulting in a much smoother viewing experience even for larger scenes

Support for loading .splat files See recently opened files You can now have the app remember model calibration and default camera position for each model Change the scale of each model

Changes to make the framerate much smoother with significantly less jitter in most cases, at the price of some of wobbliness in parts of scenes.

Improvements to camera controls: rotate with two pinches, not one Small framerate improvements

Smoother frame and significantly reduced juddering, especially on models of more than 500k splats Load larger ply files (about 2x as large as previously possible)

Significant improvements to image quality Hold tight, we're working on some improvements to framerate and juddering up next!

Improved support for some PLY files produced without spherical harmonics

Improve stuttering on large datasets Fix issue where sometimes files couldn't be selected in file browser

Add help tooltips to buttons Set initial mode to calibrate on loading a model
