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.
- In the dialog menu choose “Gaussian Splat”.

Note:
- You can either upload a normal/fisheye/equirectangular video or a zip of videos
- You can upload images in zip file.
- Maximum the size of the video or zip file can be 5 gigabytes
