FAQ


What is Gaussian Splatting?

+

Gaussian Splatting is a rasterization technique that allows real-time rendering of photorealistic scenes from small samples of images.


How to create Gaussian Splats?

+

You can create Splats from recorded video with your phone or camera. Turn on video recording, walk around the object or scene from different heights and angles.

1Create a Gaussian splatting by using a mobile app like Polycam or Luma.

2Create a Gaussian splatting in your PC on GPU with PostShot or NerfStudio.

3Create a Gaussian splatting on device with Lidar using the app Scaniverse.


How to create and export Splats with LumaAI from desktop

+

You can create Splats from recorded video with your phone or camera. Turn on video recording, walk around the object or scene from different heights and angles.

  • Open lumalabs.ai
  • Go to Captures and click on create
  • Upload your recorded video and wait about 30 minutes until training is done.
  • After the training process is over, open your scan and click on the “Download” icon.
