Description

3D Gaussian Splats: a brand-new technique to capture real-world scenes in all their richness. If you haven't heard of them, that's because they're still a hot topic of research in 3D graphics, evolving by leaps and bounds by the month. If you have heard of them, you might have some idea of why it's so incredible to view them in full stereo, to look around and immerse yourself in a 3DGS scene. Either way, whether you have your own splats you'd like to explore or just want to get a taste of what it's all about via MetalSplatter's built-in gallery, get ready for a unique experience that lets you use your Vision Pro in a dramatic new way!

* Load your own splats in standard PLY or .splat format
* Or, select splats in the built-in gallery
* Calibrate by setting the scale, 'up' direction, and tweaking the tilt. Save your calibration and viewpoint for each model.
* Pinch with both hands simultaneously to move yourself around and rotate the model

The core rendering capabilities of MetalSplatter are available as a free open-source library for Apple platforms, based on the Metal graphics API available at https://github.com/scier/MetalSplatter

What’s New

Version 1.1.0

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).

Ratings and Reviews

Campbell McGrouther ,

Brilliant

Fantastic for reliving your splats

A scale and reposition tool would be helpful, but as it is, it’s an excellent window into what’s coming.

Developer Response ,

Thank you Campbell! Glad you're enjoying it, your review made my day. You'll be glad to know that today's update adds a rescale tool (which is rather fun to play with), and while you still use the same two-pinch gesture to reposition, you can now save that position (and scale and orientation) as the model's default.
