While undoubtedly technically impressive, this left me a little confused. Let me explain.
What I think I'm seeing is like one of those social media posts where someone has physically printing out a tweet, taken a photo of them holding the printout, and then posted another social media post of the photo.
Is the video showing me a different camera perspective than what was originally captured, or is this taking a video feed, doing technical magic to convert to gaussian splats, and then converting it back into a (lower quality) video of the same view?
Again, congratulations, this is amazing from a technical perspective, I'm just trying to understand some of the potential applications it might have.
Yes this converts video stream (plus depth) into Gaussian splats on the fly. While the system is running you can move the camera around to view the splats at different angles.
I took a screen recording of this system as it was running and cut it into clips to make the demo video.
I hope that makes sense?
