Episode notes
Relive Memories As Walkable 3D Scenes
- Gaussian splatting overlays past images onto present scenes by turning pixels into tiny 3D blobs called splats.
- This creates immersive, walkable memories viewable on devices like Apple Vision Pro almost instantly.
Leaked Files Turned Into Quick 3D Walkthroughs
- Ajaz recounts someone splatting leaked Epstein files into a navigable 3D scene within minutes.
- He demonstrates zooming and peeking around the space like a virtual walkthrough.
Splatting Replaces Heavy 3D Geometry
- Josh explains splatting stores scenes as millions of soft blobs with position, size, color and transparency.
- Rendering projects and blends these blobs, making high-fidelity 3D fast and lightweight.
