Would love to see native .spz Gaussian Splat support in Lens Studio alongside .ply.
With the industry rapidly moving towards SPZ as the default splat format, it feels like the right time. From Niantic Spatial and Scaniverse open sourcing SPZ, to World Labs Marble API returning .spz only, adoption is clearly growing across the spatial ecosystem.

Biggest advantage is obviously file size and streaming efficiency. SPZ files are often ~10x smaller than equivalent PLY splats while keeping nearly identical visual quality. Huge win for Spectacles workflows, cloud streaming, quicker iteration, and mobile friendly spatial experiences.
Right now most workflows require external conversion back to .ply, which adds unnecessary friction. Native import/export support would make Lens Studio pipelines way smoother for developers experimenting with Gaussian worlds, VPS maps, and spatial AI experiences.
Anyone else here hoping for SPZ support soon?
