“BREAKING: Magic Leap and Google have entered a “multi-faceted, strategic technology partnership” for AR devices: 

Gaussian Splatting and Nerfs

“The future of Street View looks like this 😍 Basically City-scale 3D Gaussian Splatting. Thanks to a hierarchical level of detail (LOD) approach, you get real-time rendering of massive scenes at 30+ FPS! But capturing city scale at street level is SUPER messy, with people, 

“Thanks for the tweet. We improve 3D Gaussain splatting for dash cam videos that contain serious reflections and obstructions. With Dash cam videos, it’s possible to leverage massive driving data. Visit our page at 

“At #CVPR2024: Tactile-augmented Radiance Fields! We probe a scene with a touch sensor and localize each sample within a NeRF. We use diffusion to estimate the tactile signals for the points we didn’t touch.
