Gaussian Splats bring a new way to visualise and explore highly detailed 3D environments within Birdi.

Using advanced rendering techniques, Gaussian Splats can create photorealistic 3D scenes from captured imagery, allowing teams to navigate environments with greater visual realism and context than traditional point clouds alone.

Gaussian Splats are a modern 3D visualisation method that reconstructs environments using millions of rendered points, or “splats”, to create realistic spatial scenes.

Compared to traditional 3D workflows, Gaussian Splats can provide:

They are particularly effective for:

Gaussian Splats can help organisations visualise and communicate complex environments more naturally.

View:

with greater visual realism and spatial context.

Allow teams to virtually navigate environments without needing to revisit site locations physically.

Useful for:

Capture evolving project environments in a more immersive format.

This can help teams:

Gaussian Splats can provide highly immersive visual experiences for:

While point clouds remain valuable for measurement and analysis workflows, Gaussian Splats focus more heavily on visual realism and scene immersion.

Many workflows may benefit from using both together depending on the project requirements.
