Living dossiers surveying each field end to end — how the pieces fit, the real options, and what actually decides adoption.

3D & Gaussian Splatting

Gaussian splatting is a scene representation: millions of small, coloured, anisotropic 3D ellipsoids, each with an opacity, that together reconstruct what a camera saw.
