Image prompt: A flat saturated acrylic-style illustration of a tablet lying on lawn-green grass under high noon light, its screen showing a grid of slightly offset overlapping photo panels that together form one apple tree with hot red fruit and tablet-drawn leaves, hard-edged shapes with no shadows, turquoise sky above a high horizon, cheerful and plainspoken composition.

holy crap! apple just beat google to the punch — 3d gaussian splatting is coming to apple maps. these 3d scenes are made from oblique aerial imagery. but unlike blobby photogrammetry — no more broccoli trees, no more melted powerlines — ground level detail that actually holds

ICYMI google’s been shipping gaussian splats in maps for a while — but tucked inside immersive view and indoor only. I used it heavily in NYC. Meanwhile apple’s bringing radiance fields to 300+ cities this fall, built from aerial imagery. Surprised they didn’t drop ground-level
