Traditional point clouds render discrete points in space. 3DGS instead represents each sample as a semi-transparent colored 3D ellipsoid, producing a smoother and more continuous visualization of the captured environment.

Compared to mesh models, Gaussian Splats better represent delicate or complex objects such as fences, foliage, and other semi-transparent or finely detailed structures. They also capture reflections and transparency accurately, depicting materials like glass and water in a far more realistic way.

Thanks to GPU acceleration, tens of millions of Gaussian Splats can be rendered in real time, giving your team high performance, interactive visualization rather than a slow, static render.
