Videogame technology is starting to disrupt real estate 🏡

The workflow is getting surprisingly simple:

📷 Scan a house (LiDAR scanners in particular make this a smooth experience)
🪄 Train a 3D Gaussian Splat
🌐 Publish it to the web with PlayCanvas / SuperSplat

Instead of clicking through static photos or watching a fixed video tour, buyers can explore a property like a videogame level - directly in the browser.

Here’s the house from the video by Camera Cone on SuperSplat:

What do you think: will splat-based property walkthroughs enter the mainstream this year?

PlayCanvas just released SplatTransform 2.0!

For anyone working with 3D Gaussian Splats, SplatTransform is an open source CLI tool and library for processing splats.

The big new feature in 2.0 is fully automated, fast generation of high-quality collision for splats. It outputs collision in two formats:

🧊 Voxel format
🔼 Mesh format

This should be useful for anyone experimenting with splat-based games, interactive scenes, or navigable splat-based environments at scale.
